Handbrake/brake led on dash is on (but dim??)

[mrbeige 0]

Right, I was driving back from cambridge last night, and about half way home the led on the dash that indicates that you have got your brake light on or that you brake fluid is low, slowly started to glow. It started off really dim, but gradually got brighter. Stopped at the nearest services (M6 toll) and checked the brake fluid level, and it seemed fine.

 

Can anyone suggest why its started doing this? Is it something simple like a bad earth?

does sound like a bad earth if its dim...?

 

check the little pip on the brake reservoir cap isnt stuck or sticky,press it a few times,it should pop back up if your fluid levels ok.

 

as for the earths,not sure where?

rocker cover etc?

 

neil. :)
