Handbrake switch
Hi all, recently joined but I have a 2.4 TDCi and the handbreak light is flashing, now it’s defaintly the switch on handbrake but I’m told the switch can not be brought on it’s own for a right hand drives I have to buy whole handbrake unit, has anyone else been in this situation and can I just change the switch as seems easy enough to get to,
Thanks
Victoria

Are you sure its the handbrake switch? Have you checked your brake fluid? Rolling Eyes

Thank you I have had a look and brake fluid seems to be ok, and if I tap the handbrake switch it tends to go out, it does come back, and its flicking on and off all the time now,
Driving me nuts lol haha

Any chance of getting a multimeter on it? If not part number appears to be EEP191L for the switch. Thumbs Up

Who told you, that the switch is not available for RHD as a single replacement part?

Microcat told me, that there is a difference in the lever, but the switch seems to be the same for RHD and LHD.

Had a problem with the handbrake light myself. I think the light switch is at the base of the handbrake lever,...I used to give it a bit of a squeeze there, and it would go out,..sticking switch?!!
