[Miata] BRB & E-brake warning light

No you use it in place of the start function of the ignition switch

  Cool! Does it replace the key ignition switch? Seems like a potential theft issue, unless there was some hidden electronic proximity sensor that responded to a gizmo you carried with you so that only you could engage the ignition via the button.. a lot of work, but cool!

      am I the only one trying to figure out what a "BRB" is? 
      Last I heard, it stood for "Be Right Back" in Internet lingo

        I finally got around to wiring my BRB 
        http://www.ravenwingperformance.net/Lighting_Electrical/Lighting-Electrical_pg2.html 
        to the E-brake warning light circuit so that the BRB lights when the ignition is on and the E-brake is engaged.  I cut the red E-brake wire near the brake handle switch and wired one end to each of the two wires on the BRB light module.  The BRB now lights as it should, but the E-brake warning light in the instrument cluster doesn't work any more.  If I disconnect the BRB and reconnect the E-brake wires, the E-brake warning light works fine.  Can anyone suggest an easy fix that will allow the BRB light and the E-brake warning light to work?

        Thanks,

        FD
