ARC problem

I know, I know, they're supposed to do that!! Everything works on mine correctly EXCEPT when I have the parking brake on the door open lights start blinking. No other snaffus are present. I've cleaned all the grounds under the hood and under the dash. Not like it's really a problem but I was fixing a few small things today and was trying to knock this one out too. Any brilliant ideas?

Forgot to mention that I've already done that excellent fix to this ARC (and another).

You're not alone db. Three of our cars do the same thing. I bet that when you disengage the handbrake everything works perfectly?

I've never been bothered to try and fix it, the brake isn't often on

ROCK ON

Exactly. Just trying to fix all the "little" things. It honestly doesn't bother me much. Just an occasional new passenger comments on the blinking lights.

Just do what I do. Tell them that it's warning you to prepare to be blown away by the pure awesomeness that is about to be exuded on them as soon as you release that handbrake...

Today I found the fix to my ARC problem. Swap the ARC for a good one!!! Yes, that's right, took the ARC from my parts car and it works properly. I was looking in all the wrong places!
