Handbrake light coming on now and then when cornering??

Hi Folks,

after doing the lift - when cornering left usually the sharper turns like into a street or round about etc. - on the odd occasion the handbrake light is now coming on and then going off after a couple of seconds of straightening up...

at first I though it might be the handbrake cable that needs to be backed off a bit but it seems ok.

any ideas?

Sure it is the handbrake? Could be brake fluid level. Check that too.

Thanks mjrandon - Topped up brake fluid and no more light coming on :-)

This may mean your brake pads are worn down a bit. Worth checking them!
