Handbrake Warning Light

[smalls]

hi just changed front and rear pads on my is, now when i turn ignition on and release handbrake light goes of as normal, but when i start driving and press the brakes the warning light comes on and stays on till i turn the car off. any help much appreciated.

u have either a loose brake light bulb or one has gone altogether and needs replacing, thats all,

the fact that it is happening since changing pads i think is just coincidence, just check ur brake bulbs

[ormi]

check the brake fluid mate might be low if not check the brake light bulbs the high level is the normal one that causes the greef.....

High level brake light bulb has blown I'd say, mines gone twice in the 7 years I've owned my IS200.

hi,as mentioned by some others u very likely have a blown bulb thats all okay.

my bulbs are fine in the rear and the light is still on constantly ?

Can I just clarify if you're saying that since you've changed the brake pads over the handbrake warning light is staying on on the dashboard as opposed to the blown bulb warning light?

[klexus]

maybe a sensor got moved or pulled?????

is your abs working ok?

[plumo]

should think so never brake hard enough for abs lol the left bulb is slightly black on tip but still works fine ??

Hi to all! I have the same problem staring from last week and i have tried everything: pads, light bulbs, switches, connectors, break fluid, but I've totally forgot about the third break light between the rear speakers witch was dead. So before you start with other more serious checks pay attention to all three break lights on the back of the car.
