4gen dash lights

Post by jonja » Sun Oct 06, 2013 11:53 am

Hey I got problem for a week already and it pisses me of. All started when I did full wallet on car. And when I started car to drive of 2 dash lights came on handbrake light and brake lamp light and after about minute abs light went on. And now it goes on randomly and It makes me mad when I see lights on dashboard, and when you switch of ignition sometime it helps and sometime doesn't
one guy said that could be earth but where?
Any ideas?

I have the same problem. Brake fluid is between min and max. Brake lamps are working.
I have tried the brake fluid sensor (ok), brake fluid filter (ok), parking brake switch in the center console (ok).
Is it possible that the brake lamps don't have the right resistance (ohm)? Sorry 4 my bad English.

to topicstarter, do you have the same abs fault code if you do the test? mine is 21 meaning: handbrake warning lamp switch circuit faulty.
