New light on the dash.  Until it builds air, along with the typical "low tag air", "no gen", now I have a new light that just started coming on..... "Starter Alert"

What's that?

Like your tag line.  Guess I will have to keep my brakes working.  Can't increase horn, already have a train horn that will wake the dead.  :o

If you bus was originally a New Jersey Transit bus I have heard that they came with air starters originally.  It may be a low air sensor for the air starter come back to life to haunt you...   :o

Luvrbus, you nailed it again.  Switch in rear position.  Not sure how it started, by the time I looked back there the guys were already flipping switches.  I never would have guessed.

Thanks
