Hand Brake Light

Over last few days have noticed my hand brake warning light has stayed on. :confused:
The hand brake needs tightening, but works fine. And is certainly not jammed on!
Anyone any ideas? Could it be the cold? Or what controls the light???

HELP please! LOL!

have you checked all the brake lights?

have you replaced bulbs with LED's by any chance?

Yeah, I have got a brake light out.
Was baffled by the light staying on, but figured it was coz it wasn't very tight.
Huh

My car is complaining with the cold over last couple of weeks.
My mirror isn't folding back out properly, so going to have to have a look at that at weekend.

Glad you found your problem mate, I just sprayed a bit of spray silicone behind my mirrors, or could use wd40 if you have some? Helps free the up :thumbup1:
