#3: Re: Handbrake light Author: fg-mart, Location: BoltonPosted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 9:32 am ---- no mate because when i turn the car on the handbrake light comes on then goes off but when i engage the handbrake it doesn't come on. finding this fault is gonna be a nightmare. Thanks anyway fella

Did you do your fluid? No need for pointing fingers either, it wasn't me who's too lazy to search
#5: Re: Handbrake light Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:00 am ---- Handbreak switch ?
Iirc glove box switch is same that you can swap it with on some moddles,
Or maybe the cable to the switch is damaged?
#6: Re: Handbrake light Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:39 am ---- im not sure exactly how the switch system works, but maybe you could take it apart simulate the handbrake comming on by connecting wires together? it might be a break in the wiring between the light and switch?
i have no idea how it works tho so this might be impossible
I dont like the handbrake light anyway lol, for some reason whenever I catch it on out of the corner of my eye for a split second im like "AHH A RED WARNING LIGHT" then remember its ment to be on.

The fact my name was even mentioned in your first post says it all really. When you have a problem with your car when you "like everything to be working" the fact i'm still the thing you mention first, I believe, shows an unhealthy infatuation with me. Your first reply to everyone's post is directly aimed at me too as if you have tunnel vision, and don't care what anybody else says. I'm the only one you care about.
I don't bat for the other team mate. Please take your unwanted advances elsewhere.

Ill also quote something else you said
