tjsmudger 2 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Cable? Or not to sure, something to do with your brake fluid level being low! Link to post Share on other sites
rodney 17 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Handbrake light comes on for several reasons... The swtich on the back of the handbrake leaver, fluid levels in your resevoir and it can also be a sensor on your wheel... Find an member close to you with the VAGCOM and that should tell you for sure Link to post Share on other sites
Gazbarber1982 3 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Mine did it when my front left abs wire wasn't clipped into the holder. It touched the disc and melted the cable causing a short. The abs light stayed on as did the handbrake light. Link to post Share on other sites
