My Jimny started recently to light up the hand brake light while accelerating.
It lights up mostly while strongly accelerating in 1st and 2nd gear and it remains lit until 3000rpm.
Check the brake fluid container, no leaks and added some braje fluid to reach the maximum level.
Checked the hand brake play, even when wiggling the lever, the light doesn't come up. Same with the wire loom from the recipient of brake fluid..
No succes...
I suspect a loose wire - any suggestions?

I've posted the finding last Friday, but the posts are missing, therefore I re-post the solution...
10mm metal stud/foreign metal part was captive in the handbrake console, near the hand brake switch.
When accelerating, it was barely moving but sufficient to create the issue. I've removed it and now everything works just fine.

That was one of the lost posts i guess.. Too bad, i could have impressed but now i only look stupid
