Hand brake tell tell light issues April 06, 2022, 01:24:14 PM An issue has started where when the handbrake is off, the light flickers while driving.It could be just a loose connection at the switch but my worse fear is the hand brake at the callipers is not being fully released, making the cable go slack and preventing the lever to be fully clear of the switch. Before I start pulling carpets or stripping down the rear brakes just thought I’d ask is anyone else has experienced similar?

Tempted to delete this thread to avoid embarrassment, but then again the point of leaving it is someone else might learn from it. But if you so see me ask about a broken washer pump before I check the fluid then I deserve to have my keys taken off me! 1 Likes
