    Epoch, you have a lot of good information in that post, but your format makes it hard to read. A few paragraphs and a little more explanation would do wonders for clarity.

    I could follow your post, but I already knew the information. I suspect the people that really need it will have a hard time with it.

    Thought it would be a good idea to fit a brake switch on the parking brake pedal in parallel with the one on the foot brake (assuming normally open contacts) so when stationary with the car in D and the parking brake applied the electric motors would not try to move the car, but have noticed on the UK Prius the stop lights work even when the car has no fob inserted. Is there one or two switches fitted on the brake pedal?

    One switch, dual pole if you have cruise control.
