Is this the switch that attaches to the handbrake? I know they are prone to get a bit faulty...

Just cacks me up a bit when Im belting it and it flickers coz I think its the oil light



How to rectify please people, and what parts I need.

 

brake fluid warning light too often caused when the fluid is a bit low

 

Or a faulty sender unit or plug.

 

where is it located?

 

In the engine bay,it's the thing that sits in your brake fluid m8.

 

gotcha

ok i will point out, when the hand brake is put on, both the brake light and the abs light comes on, if JUST the brake light is coming on, does this point to the sensor? or COULD it be that switch by hand brake?

thanks for help!

 

Deffo the sensor in the end i changed mine to one off a mk3 fiesta.

 

ok cool, will try and nick me mates off his s1 (hi tony)

i spose if its a faulty switch by the handbrake, both would flicker on!

cheers for ya help mate

 

Both lights have just started to flicker on my frst... lookin at these replies i may wanna check the switch i take it...

 

if both flicker, it sounds like it will be the switch that connects to handbrake.

could be wrong tho m8

 

Cheers m8 ill look in to it

 

If you have a haynes manual check the wiring m8.
