33 Gtr Handbrake Light

[bish33]

So as the title states, I have a r33 gtr and the handbrake light has decided to stay on even when the HB is off. I don't think it's the cluster as I have recently put a nismo one in there which only has 20,xxx k's so its basically new. My car battery recently went flat and I was jump starting it to drive it so this is sort of when it started happening. I have a new battery in there now so was just seeing if anyone has any ideas??

Most likely rear brake pads are worn. My car did this too, after changing them the light pissed off

Could be a dodgy switch.

The only way changing brake pads would get rid of the light staying on would be because the light is also an indicator for low brake fluid, so when you pushed the pistons back to fit the pads in, the fluid level in the reservoir went up a bit.

Long story short, check the level of your brake fluid

Ohk doubt it's the brake pads but yea reckon the fluid could be down so will check that for sure thanks for the input guys

if the fluid is low then it may also be worth checking the pads as they may be low (resulting in the low fluid level)
