Red Light Worries

[alieas_neo]

Hey Guys,

I have an GTS-T R32, 89 model that has the (!) light coming on (the one that comes on with the handbrake). The only problem is, is that it only comes on when turning right around corners and going up hills, and it does it far more when the car is cooler. If i turn left, it goes off, same with going down hill, and it usually only stays on for a few seconds, but it is getting longer. Because of the way it was coming on i thought a fluid problem, but checked every fluid apart from gearbox and diff. I don't even know if these have low oil sensors, but knowing what nissan are like, nothing would suprise me.

So.... Anyone know what it might be? Or have you had the problem before?

low brake fluid in your reservoir

[alieas_neo]

Nope, like i said, i checked EVERY fluid except gearbox and diff

[alieas_neo]

Problem solved. Mental note: Don't check brake fluid at night.

lol. Told ya =-p

AFAIK, the handbrake light will only ever come on with your handbrake, or with low brake fluid.

EDIT: On R32's... I don't know if it happens on 33's the same way.

EDIT: Fixed typo, cause i'm pedantic!

Yeah 32 are the same. But one other reason for it to come on is faulty handbrake switch which I had in my car

Mine did it as it had a wire that i assume was off a turbo timer still spliced inline with the switch. It would earth occasionally on cornering and the light would flash up.
