handbrake dash light

[Kris]

anyone know why my handbrake light may not be coming on when its on? it still works etc and just had full new brakes all around it never worked before i got them but just thought someone might know why it may not be working, also what other lights am i supposed to see on the dash when i turn the key, its a 1.4s so thers no rev counter on it.

Cheers

The hand brake light dont go on prob, due to a stuck switch under the in car lever. Pull it up and you will se the switch, press it a few time and it should get unstuck.

Lights on the dash oil, battery, airbag (if you have it) ignition light, key light. the airbag,ignition and key light should go of in a few sec.

Well at least that's a relatively simple fix!
