Hand Brake light not turning on?!

Post by Major combover »

Basically recently I realised my turbo timer wasnt working, checked the wiring, everything was fine. Then i noticed when i pulled the hand brake up the dash light didnt turn on. What could cause this?! failed sensor?

It's just a microswitch on the handbrake lever. Single wire I think - you should be able to see it if you pull the handbrake gaitor off.

I can't remember - in fact I don't think my MR2 had one when I bought it, I added one from Rhon at a later date.
