#1: Handbrake Light Flashed, now on permanent! Author: panzer360gti, Location: UKPosted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 5:09 am ---- Just done all my brake discs and pads, and just today the handbrake light started flickering when driving, and now is stuck on! Ive had a look at a few other topics about this, one mentioned brake fluid, which is ok on mine, and one mentioned handbrake sensor, does anybody know where the sensor is? Handbrake failed MOT, not pulling the full 16% on test, but then passed on retest at 20%. Will tightening the cables so that it only takes a few clicks cure this, as at the moment it takes 6!
