Hand Brake (or brake system) light on
Posted: Sun Feb 27, 2011 11:15 pm
I'm glad I checked out posts... I had no idea that light could indicate a problem with the brake system.
Anyway I'd like to check out the simple stuff first, so I'll look at the fluid levels tomorrow, but I'd also like to check the switch on the hand brake itself.. The light came on immediately after the van sat for a few days in -40 weather, and there are no visible fluids on the ground or anything, so I thought I'd check the possibility of a stuck switch. Is it located at the hand brake lever somewhere? Also, anyone know if I need to/how to remove the housing around the lever to get a look around?
