Dashboard Lamp

Hello, I have another question about my Ford f250 `71. And what is that for a lamp in the dashboard, I have this too, but unfortunately it doesn't work. Can someone tell me what it is for?




Thank you for your answers.

After some research, I believe that this is the control light for the brake system, which should not light up in normal operation.
If i'm wrong please correct me.

Here's a good thread on the topic

centralizing brake pressure differential valve - Page 2 - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums (ford-trucks.com)

I noticed the link I attached started at page 2, you should go to page 1 to see all.

That's so you can see "Paradise by the dashboard lights".
All kidding aside, that light should come on when you first turn the ignition switch on. This is to prove the bulb is good. Then should only be on when you have a brake system off balance.

Hello I have a question about the brake pressure warning lamp. Is it the 1445 or 1895 and how many watts does the bulb need.
Many thanks for your messages.
