[QUOTE="over9five, post: 1045696, member: 1401"] I think the "ear splitting alarm" was for the backup electric brake booster (I'm not a mechanic, I just play one on Brown Cafe). So with the engine off, or stalled, he had zero brakes. We all know the dumb handbrake we use can loosen, and in an emergency situation he aint gonna have time to tighten it during a downhill rollaway. 1. If your handbrake loosens by itself, write it up as SAFETY. It's easily fixed. 2. STOP DRIVING if an ear splitting alarm is going off, and don't accept earplugs as the cure.
