Brake light warning switch
Could anyone just confirm that "if when the handbrake is raised the brake light comes on" will do for a means of testing the brake warning
light. Seems logical to me - just want to be sure. SVA booked for July. Thanks. Nige

Nige,
If you mean "if when the handbrake is raised the brake warning light comes on" then this is standard practice in most production
cars (and it's what I've done). If you really meant "brake light" then that is a no-no!

David - I do mean brake warning light - sorry my mistake. Have you passed SVA on this basis? Nige

This method is used on just about every mass produced car - except LandRovers.

You can use the handbrake as a test for the light or you can fit a rocker switch as in old Minis as long as they are operable fromthe drivers seat.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
