Hi everyone. I have stripped my cab out and found that the handbrake warning light was not connected to the dash, the cable was stuffed under the mats. Having removed the dash I found that the connector behind the warning light was just any empty connector.
Questions;
How do I connect the handbrake warning sensor to the connector in the photo? And whilst I’m there...
How do I connect the brake fluid reservoir to the same warning light?
Thanks in advance,
Nick

Re: Handbrake/brake fluid warning light
Both Brake fluid and Handbrake connect via a white 4 way connector that fits onto the back of the warning module fitted on the dash. You should see quite clearly a small PCB sticking out onto which the white plug connects to. If you cannot see it then it is missing.

Just out of curiosity but do the brake lights work when you depress the pedal.

If the OP checks his email for notification of replies, there is a Brake warning module on EBAY

Re: Handbrake/brake fluid warning light
Thank you both, I wasn’t getting notifications through. I traced the cables, previous owner had just unplugged everything and stuffed the cables behind the dash!
Was also missing a female connector which brickwerks managed to find me. Waiting on parts, so wish me luck!
