D2 hand brake/fluid light flashing on/off

(1/2) > >>

SWEETY:
Hi guys, i could do with a bit of help please. Just picked up my 1st LR a nice D2 V8 auto & on the way home noticed that the hand brake,brake fluid light keeps flashing on & off. I will even come on if the door is shut hard when parked up. Checked the brake fluid level & it's at the top :rolleyes: Only thing I can think of is a poss broken brake pad warning censor wire, anyone got any ideas.
Many thanks
Neil

Neil,

As far as I know there are no brake pad sensors on the D2.  I would start by looking at the switch on the handbrake itself.  The wire there may be loose and causing the intermittant flashing.

SWEETY:
Thanks wasn't sure if they were fitted or not :oops: Ok how do I get to the hand brake switch, is it under the centre console arm rest bit sorry if it seems like a silly Q just having to find my way around things

Hightower:
Yeah, if you gently prise off the cover from around the window switches you can then remove the plate underneath.  You should be able to see the switch from there.

Good luck

SWEETY:
Cheers :D managed to get at the switch & all seems fine as I had a good wiggle of the wire & plug & the light didn't come on, cleaned up the contacts on the brake fluid res as they were a bit corroded but ithe light still keeps coming on now & again :evil:
