I disconnected one of the wires going to the e-brake switch. Faint beep got even fainter. I’d say sound was reduced by 50%, but it was still audible. I then disconnected the second wire. The beeping stopped. Note that the first wire is still disconnected, so the e-brake switch is completely removed at this point. I touch one of the wires back to th…

I was able to replace it for about $8 and a bit of legwork.

Good luck!
