[QUOTE="hdokes, post: 132106, member: 24058"] Hello ice26metal, I have repaired the spade that the hot wire going from the ignition switch to the parking brake switch is connected to and it has made a world of difference regarding the parking brake kicking in on it's own during travel. Hasn't resolved the issue completely as there is still an issue of a high current draw and heating up of the spade but as long as I maintain good connectivity the brake does not kick in. I have long since felt that the design in these JD 2X0 models is a very poor design that allows for the parking brake to kick in when the unit is in motion. One or the other should and must be disengaged before the other is engaged. As such I have seriously considered isolating the parking circuit and making it manually operated only. It is not in any way worth the real possibility of eating up the brake and drive system together when both are simultaneously engaged. [/QUOTE]
