VS handbreak light

[Bobski]

My mate has a VS, 97 Executive. I was driving it the other day and noticed his hand brake light stays on the whole time while driving. But the actual handbrake is released, obviously.
I've heard of it happening before but don't know the way to fix it. Since then he said it's always on..

Any help is appreciated

will be the little switch earthing out. to fix you have to remove the centre console (easy) and trace the yellow wire to the switch, then its just the matter off stopping it earthing out and will be good as gold

Ah alright awesome.
We'll open it up and see what happens.

This happens in my vr aswell, as you put the handbrake down push it to the left as your pushing down, it works for me!

I'll try that as a temporary fix.. Opening it up tomorrow, probs gonna take his car for a spin later so see what it does.

In our other car (nissan) the brake light symbol on the dash means a fault with brakes, either on or out of juice.. checked the levels??
