My handbrake light goes on and off opel zafira 2004
Our answer:
Hi Fran,
The light is usually operated by a microswitch within the handbrake mechanism itself. That is probably loose in its mounting and rattling around, causing the light to flicker on and off. Start by finding it and seeing if there's anything amiss.
