DRIVING ON HWY 101 IN CA MY "AUTO-PARK"LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED AND CALLED WORKHORSE, THE MFG. OF THE RV'S CHASSIS. THEY GAVE ME THE NAME OF A REPAIR FACILITY ABOUT 90 MILES AWAY. UPON ARRIVING AT THE FACILITY I PUT THE RV IN REVERSE TO PARK IT AND THE RV WOULDN'T MOVE. THE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM (AUTO-PARK) ENGAGED SO I COULD NOT MOVE. THE RV WAS LOCKED UP. COULD NOT GO FORWARD OR REVERSE. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE A BAD PRESSURE SWITCH. THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED ALMOST EXACTLY TWO YEARS EARLIER AT A BUSY INTERSECTION IN CA. I HAD TO BE TOWED. THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME FAULTY PRESSURE SWITCH. *TR
