My brake warning light isnt working. It never has in fact. I may as well get it sorted though. There's no power going to the switch in the res cap and the bulb is fine. Where should I be looking? The fuse is fine too by the way. Its a 1992 T3 Syncro.

Brake fluid level warning light is also handbrake warning.
Does Handbrake warning work?
Fuse should be No 18, check contacts are clean.
earth behind fuseboard.

No the handbrake warning doesn't come on either. I must get behind the fuseboard and check things out in detail. Its probably something really stupid but its something Id like to get working. I may as well, given that its there!

I retraced the wiring from the light and found the live feed was disconnected from the fuseboard. I plugged it back in and nothing. Checked again, and it was definitely the live and there was power where I connected it. Checked the bulb, and it was gone. Replaced that with a spare I had and wayhey! It finally woks. Never worked since I got the van. Anyway, next question... How do I adjust the handbrake switch? I have to pull the thing out of the floor to get the light to come on.
