Under the ADR's the light MUST come on when the system fails & when you turn on the igition. This function is performed by the white/red wire when it is wired into the alternator light circuit.
Your current installation will not pass engineering & will need to be changed.

I haven't seen anything in any of the manuals I have that describes how to do this. It must be in another manual
I haven't seen.

I've been thinking about the way you suggest wiring it up and can see a bit of a problem. What happens when you get a charge fail problem and the charge light comes on? It seems to me you would get a brake fail warning as well.

I think a better way would be to use a delay circuit much like the seat belt warning light to short the float contacts for 10 seconds when the key is turned on.

Cheers
