The car should error out in drive with the PB on but the motor still runs. Micro switch works because I get a long beep when the car is turned off and PB is not engaged.

No brake light on instrument panel when PB is engaged though. Anyone out there with a 2005+ GEM who can tell me if this is normal?

Thanks,  
Brad
