Handbrake Light

[Baker]

Hi there,
Wondering if anyone could help. Basically the red exclamation mark which is on when your handbrake is on lights up when i go round a sharp bend... I cant see there being a problem with the handbrake cable, if it was slack or something because the cars only done 28,000!
Any ideas would be much appreciated!

check your brake fluid level
it also lights up when your brake fluid is low, and since its happening when you go round a bend, chances are that its just dipping below the mark causing it to light up.

Earth wire at your handbrake lever. Get it cleaned and really well grounded, drill a new hole for it if needs be. It's an easy fix.

sounds the same as the oil light when you go round a corner just top it up

mine does that aswell ......actually its probably because i pull my handbrake around every corner

Ha ha! Yeah I do that sometimes! But when the handbrake wasn't on just questioned it a little.
Thanks for the help guys!

Hi had the same problem after a while the exclamation mark was on all the time.took it for a service cause i'll be going around europe in the end of aughust; they told me the brake system was bleeding which was a bit dangerous.cost about 21 pounds+labour.
