D3 EPB!

Yes, I know, done to death, but can't find an answer to my question.

Mine screeched, was cleaned out and worked well for ages.

During a beach run, it started screeching again, I guess full of sand so I wasn't too worried.

After a hosing at home, it worked again for a bit, but then starting acting up progressively more often. I hadn't removed the bungs and flushed at this stage which is probably partly to blame.

Anyhow, after applying - screech, releasing and again applying - screech and releasing, it has stopped making any engagement noises, both mechanical or electrical and faults out.

Various threads have suggested the actuator, but others have suggested re-engaging the cables by doing a physical disengagement.

Or is there a fuse or link that's possibly blown.

Cct diagram suggests there is but I haven't time to look yet.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?
You mention cleaning but not adjusting?
If not adjusted regularly especially after screeching then the actuator will have gone out of its operating range.

Cheers Scott,
I only posted the abridged version :) . Was cleaned and adjusted by the good folk at MR about 3 mth ago and all was in order after that.

Started playing up 'occasionally' after 4 days on Fraser but releasing via the switch when it screeched, and it would apply on the second go.

Then this become every time over the period of a week so I that's when I decided to give the drums a thorough rinse, but not thorough enough as I didn't remove the plastic bungs (doh)!

Worked for a few applications after that then no noises and faults out. Perplexing.

Resetting with IID doesn't help. I can't remember the fault code, but dismissed it as a general code which offered little assistance lol.

Okies,
I thought I was doing a good thing by trying out the 'unjam' and 'service/normal' routines for the EPB on my IID Tool.

Well didn't go as planned. Made no difference to the EPB but now the red 'park brake warning' lamp flashes...all...the....time!

Is there a another way to make it stop?

I'm not concerned about the EPB, just want the light to go away lol.

Then fix the issue through a physical service? At that point the EPB will apply correctly and you can reset the fault and then not use it?
