Replaced factory cluster w aftermarket. Turn signal issues

RedFish said

If I had a penny for every time someone drove around with the park brake on...even with the warning lamp. On Dec. 3rd there was a small fire at the gas pumps in front of my local convenient store. I arrived post excitement. The SUV was being towed away. We later learned that the lady had been driving with the park brake on.
The low system pressure warning can be a good thing too but... who looks at warning lamps? Right
I see many owners here spending their time and money on lots of aftermarket gauges. I can't help but wonder will they look at those gauges reports/needle positions after the pretty new bling becomes the norm. I would sooner spend my money to add a warning lamp to all of my OEM gauges.
Good luck

I actually think I will go back and add the brake warning light if I can figure out how to wire it. Always good to know if the brake system pressure is low and the park brake reminder will be handy when I swap to the 5 speed and will use the park brake more. My kit came with 4 leds and I saved the red one for warning light (2greens for turn signals and I used the amber for high beam even though oem was red)

In your earlier post you mention the brake warning light gets its ground from two sources - at the prop valve and inside at the park brake handle. Do they both then run into one wire that ran to the cluster? This would make sense as the black wire I described earlier.

This is where I get confused. If that wire comes from a ‘ground’ for those positions mentioned, could it still ‘power’ the light? For example, the tan wire powers the right indicator light, and I just ground the other side. Hope I’m saying that where it makes sense.

Thanks again for your replies.
