Park Brake Light - Light Will Not Go Off

I have a 2000 Winebago Journey on a Freighliner chasis. The RED Park Brak Light on my dash board instrument panel will not go out. When I press the big Yellow Park Brake Switch in to release the brakes, the brakes release OK and I can drive, but the light will not go off on the dash.
Where can I find the wiring diagrams to help me trace the problem. I think this is also related to problems I have been having with my 310 Series HWH Leveling System which will not power on. I have wiring diagrams for the HWH system and they show several wires going to and from the Park Brake Switch, but my swich has no electrical wires going to it, only 2 air lines.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.....

I had the same problem on my 1999 diesel Chieftain. I contacted HWH and they told me it was a ground problem. They told me to look on the back of the HWH panel for a blue wire which is the ground and trace it back. Unfortunately for me all the wires on my coach were black and not color coded. I was able to find a mobile tech who did find the ground wire which was loose and he secured it firmly and no more problem. I suggest you give HWH a call they are very helpful. Good Luck.

I think I also have a grounding problem. My wires are not color coded according to the wiring diagrams. The "Blue 9300" wire is actually Red on my rig.
Now I just discovered I have no power to my in-dash radio and my outside mirrors do not adjust either. I thing they all must be tied to a common ground up under my dash someplace. I have a call into HWH, they are supposed to call me back Monday.
Thank you very much for your reply and comments.
