Hand brake dash light coming on

Postby Gearbe » Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:01 pm

Hi All

Newbie here - be gentle.

The dash board hand brake indicator on my '99 Wizard keeps coming on after I pull away. The hand brake is definitely not actually on and there's no indication that its physically jammed on so it must the switch. How accessible is the switch for replacement?

Regards

Ive had the same thing.
That light indicates handbrake on but also it indicates low fluid,brake inballance and no vacuum. To check it is indeed the handbrake push on the lever and the light will go out.
If its the same problem I had a little oil into the slide on the handbrake lever will fix it.
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
