Handbrake light

Post by NafemanNathan » Fri Feb 27, 2015 4:07 pm

I believe due to the recent cold my handbrake light has been remaining on. (Yes, I've dropped the handbrake!). After a while of driving it does go out.

Is it only the switch beneath the handbrake that's responsible for this light coming on/going off (Other than potential shorting)?

I'm possibly miles off the mark - but your brake fluid level is good right?
