I have no idea what one looks like or really where to look.

I have just gone over a small bump when parking up. Come back to the car drove off, handbrake fully down and the handbrake light is on and beeping constantly. Turned off Ignition, handbrake up etc... into reverse, no light on startup. Drive off and it's back on again. The handle is full down and I'm sure the bump has dislodged something.

Help :)

Cannot be completetly sure of the handbrake light sensors position, so don't flame me if i'm wrong, but most cars mostly they are positioned where the handbrake handle is inside the car under the lever, so when you put the lever down it butts agianst the sensor and switches it.

Have a look under the centre armrest unit, it should be bolted to the floor there, hopefully....
