Cool Mart	Handbrake indicator switch		Lead	[-]
Registered Member Posts: 111 Wed, 12-May-2010 09:02 Apprentice mechanic	Tags : None I had the Mantaray in for an MOT/service this week and replaced the rear brakes. The only issue is that the handbrake light now fails to go out when take the handbrake off unless I physically push the handbrake down ... at some stage the garage has nudged the switch and it needs a slight adjustment. Does anyone know where I can find the switch ? I loosened the centre console so I could lift it and see the anchor/pivot point of the lever, but I couldn't see a switch anywhere. Thanks Martin

However, I will connect it up again after I do the body off project that is planned for the autumn. In the mean time I hope I don’t accidently drive off with the handbrake on.
