The reasons for the continuous flashing of the handbrake light: 1. The handbrake light may be on because the handbrake is not fully released. Even if the handbrake is pulled down, it might not have pressed the switch properly. In this case, the driver should repeatedly confirm whether the handbrake is properly engaged. 2. Lack of brake fluid can also cause the handbrake light to illuminate. For such occasional alerts, if the brake fluid is low, adding an appropriate amount of brake fluid can turn off the handbrake light. 3. Worn brake pads or foreign objects stuck in the brake pads can also result in the handbrake light staying on. In this situation, replacing the brake pads will resolve the issue. 4. If the handbrake light is on and accompanied by uneven braking, it is due to uneven wear of the brake pads or uneven force distribution from the brake calipers. Immediate inspection and repair are necessary in such cases, as it can compromise driving safety.
