Auto park brake

Hello guys,
We have a 2006 r vision trial lite, 33 ft Chevy workhorse chassis.
We have an ongoing issue with the auto park brake coming on. Randomly the warning light will come on while driving, and once the rig is stopped and put into park, the auto park brake will not release.
The shops I have taken it to, canโ€™t seem to find the issue, and just replace the relay, which has gone bad each time this happens.
I am now carrying around additional relays as this happens way to often.
Has anyone had this happen ? Any solutions that anyone found ?

I have heard that you can replace the AutoPark with a manually operated parking brake. An internet search might provide the details.

Yes,unfortunately I have had this happen several times. Beside the relay failure the is a green pressure switch which leaks and allows the brake to come on. I you look inside the autopark box you can locate the switch and remove the electrical connector to see if it is leaking. If the leak is bad you can see it without removing it. If that does not fix it you can contact Roger on this forum he has helped many of us with this system. You can find him under Oldusedbear in author search.
