Handbrake help needed.

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I have a 2011 BMW 1 series, and am having slight issues with the handbrake. When I release the handbrake, sometimes (not every time) the car will still think the handbrake is up and the warning light will come on on the dash. It will not turn off unless I tap or hit the handbrake downwards; This seems to make the car think the handbrake is finally released fully. Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Morning Michael

Welcome to the Forum

It sounds as though the hand brake switch is sticking or loose, it should be located under the centre consul at the back of the hand brake.

Some contact cleaner may solve the problem
