Hand Brake light constant on

[Kazaf]

Noticed these past few days that my hand brake light on the cluster is on, even when the hand brake is down.

What electrical problems should I look into?
Sometimes, when I come to a complete stop, and let go of my brake it would disappear.

Any help would be appreciated.

i read in the manual that, it could mean that you are running low brake fluid/pressure. you might wanna check that, give it a go. check for any leaks when the brake pedal is applied

Checked the switch for the handbrake?

it could be shorted out its only earthing to get it to go on

but check brake fluids aswell

what if handbrake light is always off even when the handbrakes up?

my guess that it would be either the globe behind the cluster or the handbrake switch next to the hand brake. but im leaning more to the switch

this happen to me once, checked my fluids all good then 2 weeks later my rear brake pads where gone

brake fluid level is low

Check your brake fluid level ASAP man. Don't bother with switches and stuff.

Safety first. If you run out of brake fluid you won't be able to brake!
