Hi,

I have a 1998 honda accord V6. I have a strange problem, the battery
indicator light in the dashboard lights up (along with the symbol of
the car with all doors open) while the car is running whenever I try to
set the parking brake.

When I referred to the honda manual that I have, it says the battery
indicator light will only light up on the dashboard (while the engine
is running ) only if the charging system is failing to charge the
battery.

I am unable to believe that the charging system is dying as whenever I
release my parking brake, the indicator disappears and reappears when I
try to engage the parking brake again.

My question is, what has the parking brake to do with the battery
indicator in the dashboard ?

Can you please reply, I need to take the car to the mechanic. It would
be nice to know what to expect..

Regards,
John
