Product Overview
When a loader powers up but will not release the park brake, the dash rocker is easy to suspect. Test the seat and restraint interlocks, controller input, fuse, brake solenoid, wiring, and actual switch output so the correct part is repaired.
The rocker provides the operator command and indicator function for the parking-brake circuit. It is not a direct mechanical brake release.
Match the parking-brake icon, 142-9320, 12-volt illuminated circuit, four-pin plug, panel opening, model suffix, and serial number. An identical housing with another symbol may be wired differently.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application that is not shown above. Model year, production date, serial number, engine or equipment specification, installed options, and previous repairs can change fitment. Match the original part, reference number, dimensions, connectors, mounting points, and product photos before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a seat-bar switch prevent the brake from releasing? A: Yes. The parking-brake circuit depends on several safety inputs, not only this rocker.
Q: Can I install a generic four-pin rocker? A: No. Internal circuit, momentary action, illumination, and pinout must match 142-9320.
Q: Is this safe to diagnose with the machine raised? A: Follow the service manual and use approved supports; never work under unsupported lift arms.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
