Handbrake light lit dimly with ignition off.

Featured Replies

Just noticed my handbrake light is dimly lit with ignition off. Releasing the handbrake doesn't make it go out. Otherwise the light seems to work as expected with ignition on. Not sure if it's a sign of impending doom? 😊

The handbrake light also functions as a low brake fluid light, so you might want to check the fluid level.

 

EDIT: Oh wait, I missed the bit where you said with the ignition off. That is odd.

I'd be re-flowing all the connector pin joints on the board, knowing how they like to crack. Green and black connectors.

Yeah, sounds like that kind of trouble.

Have had the occasional immobiliser issue too and imagine it would sort that. Whenever I've tried reflowing solder before, I've ended up doing more harm than good. Probably using too much heat. I'll have to watch through some videos on YouTube and hopefully learn something.
