Hello all i hope you are well!!!
I have checked absolutely everything, brakes,master cylinder,slave cylinder. The light stays on....
I recently had an Ironman suspension fitted the light hasnt gone off since.... Is there a chance that they could have damaged something?
Any recommendations are welcome!
Cheers H

Re: Hand brake light.
Not sure if the 'load sensor' has something to do with your problem, above the read diff?

Re: Hand brake light.
The light has a dual purpose, telling u that the handbrake is up and also the brakefluid level.
The handbrake switch could be faulty or the fluid level sensor.
Check both, or perhaps the fluid level is a little to low

Re: Hand brake light.
Thanks for the replies the hand brake switch was the culprit.
