Default '69 Dash Idiot Lights

I know the middle light is the oil light and the right hand light is the alternator light. What is the left light? It never comes on.

After some more research, it looks like that light says Brake System. I have never seen it come on so I guess it does not engage with the parking brake. Does it just come on when the master cylinder is low of brake fluid?

it comes on when your brakes arent working properly. i think if you look on your distribution block thats where the wires go. mine was just unplugged, and the light in the dash came on and wouldn't go off so i left it unplugged.

I didn't know there were other lights that acutally sensed oil pressure and alternator. My alternator wasn't charging before and it didn't come on however my brake light is on and will always be on, supposedly its hard to reset them or something. Doesn't bother me my brakes are fine.

There are two idiotlightsin the Fuel/Temp gauge. The one on the left is Brake system the one on the right is Seat Belts There are no other idiot lights in my dashes. Down on the dash near the key I have a light that is labledPark
