couple of electrical issues

[RedMk2Gti]

well, i start to work out several non-working lights in the cluster, they don't affect the car but I just feel something is missing

First is parking brake light not working. people in other forum mention there is a switch under the handbrake, but I couldn't find any. Is this something diff from aus mk1 and other country ?

Is there any fuse involved, pls help

76ers didnt have the light. Someone must have fitted a later instrument panel.

My '76 has no handbrake light either.

good for fooling your passenger at night about sudden u-turns.....

The cluster is pretty dim by modern standards so you will definitely notice when they are missing. Easy to change one the cluster is out..

Really ? i roughly remember it went ON sometime ago....

I caught myself driving with the brake on, no lights, so I am assuming no...

If its a 76er, once again, they didnt come out with the handbrake warning light, if its a locally assembled. The German 76 GLS models had the light from memory and I have only seen 1-2 of them.
If it worked once then someone has fitted a GLS cluster and wired it up. If it is wired up then it may be dodgy as the ones with the light also had a problem light in the same unit and the wiring for them is a bit more extensive
