Handbrake Light
#1
My handbrake light on the dash keeps flickering on and off, and I know the brake isn't on. Anyone know a quick and easy fix. Red lights on the dash really annoy me.

Thanks.

Hey, I've got the rims on. I'll put up a pic, they look pretty good.

Mine does it once in a while, but that's usually cause the first quarter inch of the pull is slack and the light comes up after that (far too sensitive if you ask me). So sometimes when the car shakes, light comes on and off.

The best quick fix to a red light is good ol electrical tape. Works on check engine and high beam notice lights too. :lol:
