Handbrake light
 

On my drive home this morning, the scoobs handbake light didnt go out. Kept checking to make sure the brake was fully released. Felt normal to drive, so i dont think the brake is stuck on at all

Any idea why it's staying on?

Thanks

The light is activated by a switch under the handbrake,the light has no connection with wether the brakes are actually on or off as it were.
Check the conectors are fully on, you can just connect the conectors together to see if its a faulty switch.

me too!!
 

For the last coupla weels or so mines done the same,but after:drive:about 15 mins,if i put handbrake on then take it off light goes out very strange :confused:

I had the same, so removed the brake reservoir filler cap and put fingers in and pressed the sensor a few times inside and it went off, sorted it. Common fault as a lot of them do it.

Well done that man

i'll have a play one evening this week, have been told it may also be fluid level, so will just that too

Cheers for the help

All I can say is good ole Tone for the advice, Im learning off one of the best:doubleup:

thought that sounded like amazing advice :wink:.

Think it is down to the colder weather, drove my old classic with the light on most of last winter. Was told it was a sticky switch, would normally go off when day warmed up:D

as mentioned above take the top off the brake fluid resovoir and give the float a poke. They get stuck.

It's doing it again now

Seems to be when it's frosty outside

Mines still doing it to babe,i think its due to the cold... but them im a bit reluctant to "go out" when its cold as well :rofl::rofl:

i had that problem, just needed the fluid topping up.
