Yes it does light up on the self test for a couple of seconds but not when the handbrake is pulled up. |

Owners Handbook = Should light up when Handbrake applied or if there is a fault with the Handbrake system. |

Bulb is fine must be the hand brake switch end. On the passenger side of the lever is the switch hope it is this as there is no doubt several miles of wiring/connections/strange black boxes etc.. Check the switch as a first step. |

Finally had the time to take a look at Handbrake light switch - wire had broken off the copper connecter holder thingy managed to fix with a bit of improvisation and it now works again .
