Hi Peeps.
Basically when i turn corenrs my handbrake warning light keeps coming on randomally it's not a massive problem, just a little bit annoying.. was just wondering if anybody knows any quick ways of fixing this? i figure it's just a sensor or something thats a bit dodgey.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
Rich.

Its a brake fluid warning light aswell.. Means your needing to top up the fluid. So dont do as is suggested above and "live with it"..

brake fluid level definatly, might be worth checking your pads before filling up as they might need changing hence the brake fluid level going down

How would it be a brake fluid level warning aswell? As far as i'm aware that light is only attached to the contact on the handbrake.
