brake warning light & handbrake light.

Had to remove the rear light clusters today to take my bumper off.

since I've put everything back together the brake warning & handbrake light on the dash have stayed on.

But both my brake lights are working....

Fluid level being low can cause this.

This.

It could just be a coincidence its happened at the same time you've taken your bumper off.

Yeah, it was fine this morning tho...
Pretty sure its happened in the past and I've just jiggled the wires and fixed it lol

Checked the fluid level today and its about 10mm above the min level. so I don't think thats the cause. I'll top in up just incase.
Any other Ideas? It's pissing me off now because its tripping my abs and 4ws lights too after a short drive.
So my dash is like a xmas tree

I reckon one of your blown bulb sensors is gubbed. Try this and see if it cures it, will eliminate the sensors:

See, I asked my mate at the garage the other day if it had bulb warning sensors... he said no it just works off voltage... cheers for that

Ok trying to get my tiny little mind around that... It that little brown box the warning sensor?

Can I just ask, do all 4th gens have this sensor thing? They seem to go wrong a lot
