No parking brake available

Anyone had this problem?
Car won't start, nothing lid on panel but that only.
Turned out to be my battery.

The light was your battery or the not starting was your battery? Not sure what your post is saying/asking?

His pic shows the dash display saying, "Parking brake not available". I guess he's just giving a heads-up in case anyone else has a similar symptom? I dunno

You are correct, I searched the forum for my problem but could not find anything that related to the car battery being dead.

I had a "brake failure" warning light that turned out to be a result of low battery voltage. I guess the computers get confused if power is low.
