Handbrake light

[Tony]

When i put on my handbrake the red light on the dash aint coming on any more, How come??

Is there a sensor some where??

Anyone??????

probably a blown bulb, ull have to remove the dash and removet the pannel, to gain access to the rear of the instrument pannel. then replace the bulbs

either that, or the switch/contact spring has broken which is on the actual handbrake.

Would suggest checking that first.

Pull the carpet out a little around the handbrake and check the cable connector, as Zydered said.

I had a problem when the light wouldnt go off, this was because they rear brake drum pistons had blown. Does the handbrake work?
