Strange turn in issue

[R35735]

Bit of an odd one this - if I go round a corner enthusiastically, my handbrake light comes on.

Is there anything obvious that would cause this, or is my car trying to subconsciously encourage some asbo driving?

Loose connection somewhere? If it's electrics Jack, get it checked man, be safe not sorry.

Not sure if it works the same way but my mums Fiat Punto did this for ages and her garage couldn't diagnose it. While i gave the car a full service in the summer i topped up her brake fluid resevoir as it was a little low and the light hasn't come back on since when the handbrake is off.

It may be totaly different but worth a check.

The sense of danger is half the fun!

Nice, (eventual) simple fixes ftw. I'll have a goosey next week.

not sure if they are the same warning light but check your brake fluid level, I know on some cars they are the same warning light.

Update - topped the brake fluid up today, problem disappeared. Only took 3 months.
