Thread: Parking brake.

It's at the back of the handle over the lever base plate.

Thanks Simon.

Alls good, I've just copied the pic from RAVE.

I haven't tried to access the switch specifically, but if you cant get to it properly through the switch panel, the centre console is pretty quick and easy to remove.

Yep, not hard to access, but check your brake fluid level first, as that'll bring the same light on when it's low iirc.

Thanks discorevy, I'll add a couple of drops as its an intermittent thing, usually happening when first started.

If the fluid is low check the pad wear. Brake fluid doesn’t evaporate so either the pads are low or the fluid is leaking somewhere.

The rear pads are getting down, the fronts have been replaced. I have a set of rears in stock, but they don't yet need replacing.

So, if the fluid is low where is it going?

Mine doesn’t turn the light on if all the pads are down. Course, the switch could be faulty.
