Why is the handbrake light flashing continuously?

[ODerek]

The flashing handbrake light could be caused by a faulty handbrake light switch or poor contact in the light wiring. It is necessary to remove the handbrake cover and inspect the handbrake switch and wiring harness. If the handbrake light remains on, it might be due to forgetting to release the handbrake or the handbrake not being fully disengaged, causing the light to stay illuminated. Additionally, brake fluid leakage or insufficient levels can also trigger the handbrake light. Brake disc thinning: If the handbrake light stays on and is accompanied by body vibration or unusual noises during braking, it is highly likely caused by thinning brake discs or foreign objects lodged in the brake pads. As the brake disc surface becomes uneven, it produces sharp metallic friction sounds when braking. This condition can also lead to insufficient braking force, longer braking distances, and softer brake pedal feel. Brake fluid deficiency: Insufficient brake fluid can also cause the handbrake light to illuminate. When the brake fluid level drops below the safety line, the handbrake light may stay on, and false alarms can occur. During uphill driving or sudden braking, excessive slopes or fluid sloshing may trigger false readings on the fluid level indicator. For such occasional warnings, if the brake fluid is slightly low, adding an appropriate amount of brake fluid can turn off the handbrake light.
