Title: Handbrake claiming to be on?!
Post by: marcnazer on August 05, 2012, 10:22:41 pm

I was driving along today in a normal fashion, next thing im being beeped at and being told my handbrake is still on.
It's not!
I've tried driving for a while to see if it stops, putting the handbrake on and taking it off again and turning the car off and on but none of this has fixed it.
Any ideas? As the constant beeping whist driving is really annoying!

Normally I would suspect the hand brake warning switch must be stuck but if it started off whilst you were driving is perplexing.
