The infamous GM Workhorse parking brake pressure sensor

This is GM's infamous green parking brake pressure sensor. I have a 2000 Workhorse P32 and this is it. Trans liquid flows through them. It's behind the armor plate just behind the gearbox. What a terrible design! At first the brake wouldn't release. We pulled the plug and directly applied 12V to finally turn it on. It has to turn on and withstand 1400psi of pressure to release the brake. Only passing on information that ruined our weekend.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • unreliable

Fixed an issue with the automatic parking brake system in the camper. The AutoPark light on the dash was on all the time, even while driving. The problem was with this switch. Fluid leaked through the switch, which is a clear sign that the switch is defective. The exchange took about 10 minutes and the problem was gone. I will order another one as a spare because sometimes when it goes out the parking brake will engage and the camper will not move. Cheap insurance!

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Security

The infamous lazy green switch

This is the infamous lazy green switch used in AutoPark, specifically on the Chevy P30 and P32 chassis used in various RV's. It was a perfect match for a 1997 Georgie Boy with a Chevy P30 chassis. I would give the manufacturer and seller 5 but the original design is terrible so minus 1. Almost all of these switches fail over time. Buy extra It is housed in an armored metal case along the center passenger side frame spar. There are some great replacement guides and You Tubes. Don't pay the van…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • not bad

I wish I had known the following information a few years ago:

I have a 2001 Winnebago Adventurer and this switch leaked gear oil. I had a hell of a time trying to figure out where that was and where the storage bottle was. Most mechanics said the reservoir is next to the switch but not in my case. It was a cloudy plastic bottle with a yellow cap on the hood, on the driver's side under a bunch of wires that made it hard to see. The switch location was inside the guide frame on the passenger side above the catalytic converter. Before the steps about 3 feet.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • There are cons

It's often an AutoPark repair

If you have a Chevy/Workhorse P30 style Class A chassis (independent front suspension, coil spring pads, typically narrow front track) then you probably are a gear-damned parking lot AutoParken brake. The large yellow "Parking Brake" button to the left of the steering wheel is the control button. There are older versions that still have a foot pedal, but some only have a yellow switch. AutoPark is a spring-loaded drum brake that grips the driveshaft until a hydraulic pump relieves pressure from

Pros
  • Practical
Cons
  • So far so good
