Hello everyone, it`s been a while since the last time i`ve been here on the forum. I have a problem now with my b210 hand brake dash light. What happens is that is always on, i pressed the switch inside to check if it was stuck but is fine, the light stays on all the time! Any ideas what the problem might bee?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers

Early B210s are simple, the switch is for ground.

Later B210s are complicated, it is tied in with the choke relay and lights up when KEY ON, ENGINE OFF.

Yes ground = earth = negative.

To test it, unplug the wires on the Brake Master Cylinder. If the light goes out, that is the problem (leaking brakes).

1976-1977 B210 is like this:
