| Post subject: | Sierra 88 WT handbrake |
Hi All. As you would have noticed from all my posts Im new to the Sierra game even though i do have a Grand Vitara. I am mechanically minded and have always played around with cars. In trying to sort out the interior light and the door switch's i discovered that previous owner have connected the handbrake switch into the door switch / interior light at the loom. I have now sorted the door switch / interior light but can't work out where the handbrake cable should plug into at the loom under the dash. Can someone please trace theirs and post some photos? I have looked at wiring diagrams and they say orange but cant find any orange cables under the dash. Thks in advance once again. Chris. |

Is there a brake fluid level switch on the master cylinder? That's usually where the handbrake switch ties in - the brake warning light on the dash illuminates if the fluid is low, or the handbrake up. |

Will have a better look tomorrow but I think it links into the the brake fluid level switch (as fordem says) and the instrument cluster. Where exactly it connects in the harness if have to have a better look |

Righto.. Without delving too far into it at the moment. The handbrake switch runs a black wire beneath the drivers seat and into the sill. It appears to run backward in the sill but difficult to say for sure. Either way it connects under the dash just above the fusebox with a soft insulated connector, becoming a red wire with black tracer. I tried to get pic of it.  Does that help? |
