Yes, it very much feels like it thank you I will check that out in the next few days when I get to it and let you know the results.

I would be checking the brake pressure when the pedal is released.
on the back of the block where the pedals go there is a a hose marked BR, check the pressure when the pedal is up. It should be around 21 bar ish. If not I would say that is why you have no drive.
Sounds like you are trying to drive against the brakes

EDIT:_: to answer the question. NO. the park brake is a foot brake and there is not a light that is going on or off in conjunction with the park brake.

The potential lights I have are 11. ( I wish this would allow me to attach a picture)
the top half of them are
from left to right in a half circle form.
1. trans oil
2. hyd fluid.
3.engine oil
4. left and right arrows
5 battery light
6.fan symbol
7. power symbol
the lower 4 are.
1. and up wards arrow (don't know the symbol)
2. glow plugs.
3. fuel light
4. downwards arrow(don't know the symbol either)
The only light that comes on is the battery light. no other lights any where switch on or off when the parking brake is engaged or disengaged. This parking brake is a foot pedal style with the spring plate and the hand lever on the left side of the column that allows the pedal to be disengaged. I do not see any sensors for it except the brake switch that is actuated when the pedal is depressed.

Also, thank you for responding and assisting. It is much appreciated.

Is the parkbrake light going off when you release the handbrake?

I simply had the brake pedal in the fully disengaged position.

Did you remove the brake pedal from the shaft when replacing the brake switch?
