electrical queries.

I have two problems.

1/ Handbrake warning light not going out. Traced to not being the handbrake at all but a faulty switch that is near the bottom of the brake fluid reservoir bottle. I've ordered the switch but is it easy to fit or does it require the emptying and removal of the brake fluid reservoir.?

2/ Low full warning light not coming on. Established it is not a blown bulb. Any ideas on a fix?

if its not a blobe then it could be one of 2 things either a broken wire or a fault in the sender unit.... basically it switchs an earth at the sender unit when the fuel level is low.

I've tracked the fault for the brake warning light staying on to a switch the fits in under the brake fluid reservoir.
I've got the part but it requires the removal of the entire reservoir and brake master cylinder.
I might give the job to a brake place, then they can flush the entire system with new fluid at the same time.
For the moment I've just disconnected the wire going to the plug. I still have the warning light coming on with the handbrake but not on constantly due to the other fault.
Have not sorted the low fuel light yet.
