Hey all,

My 1997 Magna wagon has recently over the last 4 months been showing its handbrake light ([!]) even when i have it completely off while driving, at first it would turn off upon release of the hand brake and then show up at some point while i was driving (usually when i turned a corner sharp) but now it stays on constantly.

The car doesn't seem to have any signs of malfunction, even though it is over 16 years old its still running quite well besides needing a regular service soon.


Any ideas what this problem might be? Does it sound like an electronic problem or could it be much worse?


Thanks!

I am not 100% sure but I think this may mean your brake fluid is low?

Yes, as above, low brake fluid.
