Ive used an MX5 as a donor for a kitcar build and in the process shortened and chopped the loom.

Now the warning light wont come on at all when the handbrake is on or when the fluid is low.
Ive got a feeling that ive cut off the connector for the handbrake and was wondering if this is on the same circuit as the low fluid level sensor?

If the need arises, how could i go about wiring in my own warning light for both items?

I know they use the same warning light. So assume that if the circuit is broken, the light wont work.

The handbrake switch is a basic plunger switch situated under the handbrake. Find the part of the loom where the low level sensor for the brake reservoir connects to and complete the circuit with the switch.

I would have thought. I could be wrong, though. biggrin
