    Default Park Brake Light Warning Staying On

    Driving back from the local store and all of a sudden the handbrake warning light comes on and wont turn off, when i press for dimisters it makes a faint sound as if its the sound of an indicator ticking and the lights dim a tad, but no matter what i do the brake light warning wont turn off, the handbrake is all the way down, and the brake fluid is filled full, any ideas on what could be wrong?

    the car i drive is a vy ii series 2 berlina.

    I'd say its just dodgy wiring for the light. If you had the handbrake on, or you had a brake issue, the alarm would be sounding (you know the one you get with when you drive off with the handbrake on)
    The indicator ticking sound is probably a relay switching.

    The tick noise when you push the button for your dimistors is the relay pulling in.. All normal unless you're hearing more than one little TICK.
