Icon2 1996 Del Sol PARKING BRAKE LIGHT!!! Help

Well this is my first post I've lurked these fourms for info before but never made a membership.

Well here I am now looking for some wisdom from the Honda Pros

I have a 96 Del Sol S stock as hell, Its just a daily driver. It experienced its first Wisconsin winter (previously stored in winter) and it did as good as it could. I rear ended a bus got a new hood and headlight, and bent a rear hub parking lot drifting replaced next day.

After that nice introduction the actual problem presented as it started to warm up this Spring the Parking Brake light will flash turn on as I turn and then go off as I hit a bump a mile down the road and it is driving me crazy. It has nothing to do with the switch or wire under the center console I took it apart and even disconnected it the light persists.

I guess the main thing I need to know is where does the wire go after it joins the bundle under the rear compartments. Its a one wire circuit so where ever it is its touching ground ( the body metal) its activating the light.

Any wiring diagrams or knowledge from a interior rip out would be much appreciated.

It also comes on when the brake fluid is low in the reservoir, you might wanna check that first.

If the brake fluid is getting low, it means one of two things:

1 - brake pads are worn down (causes the pistons to move out more and lower the fluid level)
2 - there is a leak somewhere.

Check you pads first before topping off the fluid.
