YARRR

Corsa B sat for awhile in the garage, silly me kept the handbrake on when I thought it was off ( ). Now that I have the Corsa moving I've noticed the light will stay on regardless of what position its at, the brakes still need to be bled but I'm sure its something to do with the cable?

What should willay do to fix this problem?

if the fluid level is low this can cause the light to come on
cure is simple top the level back up
