Hot hand brake ???

<< < (4/4)

Tyke:
Re-do the earths as already suggested. It's not unknown for brake cables to take over the earth path. Electricity always goes for the route of lowest resistance. Hence the heating effect in the cables and lever.

Eventually the cable will fail and it's a miserable job to replace unless you get the vehicle on a four post lifting ramp. Not so much difficult, just up and down loads of times from under the motor and into the cab while it all gets set-up. When mine failed it also broke the 'stop' off the handbrake lever and then took out all the window switch mounting plate on the centre console as the lever came flying backwards - still not found a repalcement :(
