It's just a light. Who cares. If your handbrake is up, then it's on.
Did you do your fluid? No need for pointing fingers either, it wasn't me who's too lazy to search

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.

Your behaviour greatly concerns me. 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.
