Where is the handbrake light switch located?
1 Answers
The handbrake light switch is located above the brake pedal, on the master brake cylinder, and above the rear differential. Brake Light Introduction: Generally installed at the rear of the vehicle, the main color of the light is red. This makes it easier for vehicles behind to detect when the front vehicle is braking, helping to prevent rear-end collisions. The principle is that power passes through a fuse to the brake switch. When the brake pedal is pressed, the switch connects, sending electricity to the two brake lights and one high-mounted brake light, completing the circuit through the negative wire connected to the vehicle body. Handbrake Indicator Light: Used to display the status of the vehicle's handbrake, it is usually off. When the handbrake is engaged, the indicator light automatically turns on; when the handbrake is released, the indicator light turns off. Some vehicle models will also emit a warning sound if the handbrake is not released while driving.
