Brakes: - Park brake warning light coming on intermittently

Peester · Jan 7th, 2017, 12:09

I have the park brake warning light and associated cabin alarm randomly coming on when driving even though the Park brake is not engaged. Switches off once car it stopped and restarted. I was wondering if it may be a faulty switch or sensor that normally tells when the brake is left engaged? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Check the parking brake switch on the park brake mechanism in the dash.

If not that, then it is a solder connection problem in the instrument cluster, and you'll need to get the instrument cluster repaired e.g. by VolvoDiagnostic in London.
They charge a modest fee.
