I have an 89 s10 with no abs. It's parking break light flashes 3 short and one long. I took it to Autozone to ask for information and they laughed at me not even taking a look for themselves.

I've had an 89 s10 for 16 years. When I bought it it was doing the same thing. The guy I bought it from said he took it to the dealer and the dealer said there wad nothing wrong with the brake system and they couldn't figure out why it was doing it. The last time I changed my brake pads it quit doing it. I can't explain why though because I didn't touch anything electrical and my truck doesn't have ABS. It could start up again but it hasn't yet. I learned to ignore it. If you're sure your brakes are ok it might be the easiest solution for you too.

The exterior parking lights on my 98 venture are flashing when the car is turned off

This is intermittent, not a continuous flashing.

We have had this van for 9 years and I have never seen this before. Is it some sort of code?

Any explanation would be appreciated.
