have you fixed the problem yet?

because i have had this problem a year and a half ago and i still havent corrected it

check your brake fluid because that happens if not

you handbrake sensor or the wiring is farked!

just get an auto electrician to fix it!

he will rip you off though thats why i havent bothered yet! :S
