Wheres the switch for the handbrake light!?

Post by chuggers72 »

The dash light for my handbrake is permenantly lit up after I changed the cab mat. I've had a quick nose around but cannot see where the connection/switch for it is? Any pointers anyone?

It also stays lit permanently when the brake fluid level is low, might be worth a look

Thats a real nugget of info about the brake fluid - was not aware of that. Checked it and level is fine though. Will have a look at no19 on the diag - many thanks chaps :ok

Thought Id post an update for future users - the switch in question is tucked down behind the back of the handbrake lever and looks like the interior light switch on the sliding door. Quick reconnection of the wire that had become disconncted and the light works as before. :D
