Diagram ref no 5
This switch detects when the handbrake is applied or released, allowing the corresponding dashboard warning light to operate correctly.
Over time, the original switch can become worn, corroded or unreliable, causing incorrect or intermittent parking brake warning light operation.
What Does It Do?
The parking brake contact switch detects the position of the handbrake lever and activates the dashboard warning light when the parking brake is engaged.
It helps remind the driver that the parking brake is applied before driving away.
Why Does It Fail?
Common causes of failure include:
- Corrosion on electrical contacts
- Wear to the switch mechanism
- Dirt and moisture contamination
- Damaged wiring connections
- Age-related deterioration
When Should It Be Replaced?
Replace the switch if you notice:
- Parking brake warning light failing to illuminate
- Warning light remaining on when the handbrake is released
- Intermittent warning light operation
- Damaged or sticking switch mechanism
- Corroded electrical terminals
Checks & Diagnosis
Before replacement, inspect the wiring and electrical connections. Check that the switch operates correctly as the handbrake lever moves and test electrical continuity.
A warning light remaining illuminated may also indicate another brake system fault, depending on the vehicle.
Installation Notes
Inspect the existing switch position and wiring before removal. Fit the replacement securely and check that the dashboard warning light operates correctly when the handbrake is applied and released.
