My Parking Brake indicator does not illuminate any more when activated, but does illuminate on initial startup/key on during the dash light test. Any ideas where I can re-enable this?? The Parking Brake itself appears to be functioning normally when manually activated / deactivated, just no more dash light

UPDATE: So far, my Bronco has been to the dealership 3 times for this issue.
  • The first time they did the Child Safety Lock recall and weren't able to figure out the dash light.
  • Second time they had it for a couple days, unplugged something in the passenger footwell to inspect/re-connect, and reset a code related to the ABS module. Stated it was fixed. I got to dealership and checked before I left and it still wasn't working. Had to re-schedule another appointment
  • Third time they had it for 2 weeks and had me in a loaner vehicle so they could consult with Ford engineers. Determined it is a faulty ABS module which they ordered and I am scheduled to go back Jan 2, 2023 for the install. I got my Bronco back so I could enjoy it, taking it to the fresh snow in the Sierras this last Saturday. Hoping the ABS module replacement will fix it, I'll keep you guys posted
NOTE: Parking brake still works fine and you can hear it engage but now knowing it could be the ABS module, it should work for a $65000 vehicle
