Handbrake Light Flashing

I have an issue with my handbrake light on the dash.

SOMETIMES it keeps flashing intermittently and then goes away.

It's not always on bright as well - by this i mean that it's dimmed and flashing.

I can't pinpoint any factors that are contributing to this.

Have a question, is there a cable just behind the steering wheel (covered between the plastic thing where the key fob is) that controls JUST the handbrake light?

Or does anyone have any ideas on how i go about fixing this? :banana:

99% brake fluid... if its flashes on and off this means that its getting low... but not low enough to stay on all the time... this might be because when you taking corners and the brake fluid is moving around causing it to flash.

Best thing is to top it up~ and it should solve your problem. Use the same brake fluid as youve got in it already, which i would assume is DOT 4, as mixing is probably not the best thing.

Or if your feel like doing some work then bleed the brake system with DOT 5.1 ^^.

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
