MK1 Focus Hand Brake Dash Light
Just picked up a MK1 2003 Focus with 53k on the clock. After a quick drive the other night the ABS light flickered slightly then went out. I now have the Hand Brake light come on while driving and randomly turn on and off.
After a bit of research I have found possible causes online:
- Brake Fluid Needs Topping Up.
- Handbrake Switch Loose.
- Brake Pads need Replacing.
- Possible Brake Fluid Leak, from near Clutch Pedal.
- Something involving Master Cylinder inside Clutch Leaking.
Obviously first thing to do is check fluid level, then check for leak by Clutch Pedal.
Where do I go after this? Can you check pads without taking the brakes apart? Or should I be looking at something else first? Could there be another issue?
All advice welcome with this situation welcome.
