hand brake

Post by Blevvv » Mon Mar 03, 2014 1:16 pm

I'm no expert but would like a little help on this, now to me this looks like there should be some thing on the end? If anyone has a pick of what ever should be on the end of this switch much appreciated, cheers guys :lol:

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's the hand brake switch, should have a wire on it yes.

And I think it should be red and black if I'm not mistaken.

A wire and a rubber cover. It's for the dashboard warning light for the handbrake.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

The manual says it's orange. If it's like mine it's orange and has a connector under the drivers seat carpet, then black to the switch.
