Hand Brake Light

[simon_matthew]

Hello everyone.

I had my car to bits fitting a big ice install and since then I have had a problem with the handbrake light on the dash staying on. I just wondered if anyone had a quick fix for this problem or knew whether resetting the ecu gets rid of it?

thanks

try putting the wire back onto the micro switch by the handbrake

check that all the rear bulbs work and are seated properly,had the same problem a couple of months ago.

If you disconnected the oem high level b/light (5th b/light) then you would have the dash light come on.

Yeah, some clever sensor thinks your bulb hass gone....

can this not be fixed by resetting the car Battery , as I have permently removed shelve brake light and have warning up

[Scorpion]

I think you have to measure the resistance and insert a resistor or something like that.

Hello again

I've cured my dash/handbrake light problem by refitting the brakelight bulb (from the light on the parcel shelf) but lead the wires into the boot so it isn't visible.

NB....Handbook says check brake fluid level,brakelight bulbs and that you havent left the handbrake on

hope this helps......nottonto :)
