Hand brake light keeps flashing please help

Featured Replies

My handbrake light keeps flashing with 3 beeps I don't know what the problem is 

 

 

Does the brake warning light also come on if the brake fluid level is low?

 

Thanks AG Falco

I think you may have hit the nail on the head there.

The brake fluid is fine it's to its max 

I think it may be the wiring loom

@V23vrs - If you look down the slot the lever has in the console, you can see the make-to-brake switch for the warning light. Try pushing it to test if it works correctly, since it may just be sitting a touch low.

@KenONeill am I looking for the brake switch , what slot am I looking for exactly , if u could send a pic that will be great thanks

 

He means the slot the hand brake lever goes down into in the centre console. The switch that tells the dash the hand brake is "on" is straight down the bottom of the slot.

@V23vrs - Mac has described what I meant perfectly. On my car, the pressure plate for the switch is a circular piece of goldy coloured metal. YMMV.

I had this. My problem was the handbrake cable.. It would randomly start beeping.. Found out, my handbrake cable was sticking, wouldn't release it properly so I changed that and the problem went away,
