Hi I'm new to the forum but have reviewed various threads on the above subject but have still not resolved my problem. The hand brake on warning light came on the dashboard with a 'stop' light while I was driving. I checked the brakes and found that the return strings on one of the rear caliper was seized up making the brake bind. I freed this with a little WD 40 but the light did not go out. Its on all of the time while driving now.
I filled up the brake fluid reservoir but that did not correct it. I thought it might be worn pads so replaced all 4 of them but light is still on.
I had already checked the brake light switch by both disconnecting it and also by shorting the connections across therefore I do not think it is that.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? Should I think about replacing the rear caliper (the one that seized)? Is there some sort of sensor in that.
Could there also be an adjustment on the hand break that would put the light on?
Many thanks for your help.
