Question:
I have an hyundai lantra M reg, and just wondering if anybody knows why my hand break light keeps coming on when it feels like it. I actually thought that maybe the break cable might need tightening, is this the problem?

Which is the best auto battery?
The Handbrake light is dual function, it tells you when the handbrake is on, it also tells you if theres a fault in your braking system.You could need the handbrake cable tightened,
You could need your brake fluid topped up,
these are the two most common solutions.
You could have a problem with your brakes or you could have a faulty sensor.
unlikely but worth checking out.

I actually think on mine it is because the handbrake cable was incorrectly tightened, that is tightened at the handbrake rather than from the tightening bolt under the car!!

sounds like the switch for the hand brake needs ajusting which can be found at the very base of the lever and may need fine tuning so it touches the lever correctlyWhy is my car still vibrating badly at high speeds even though I just replaced two tires?
Remove the plastic cover around the brake handle. The button[with the wires attatched] either has come loose or needs adjusting.- - -
You may well need to have the brake cable tightened, but it also acts as a warning signal that your brake fluid levels are low, so it could be that.

What is the easiest and best way to replace a u joint?
the switch is probably worn and making contact under vibration,unless it is the brake warning light whereby your brake pads could be worn or your brake fluid level low.I assume you are not driving with the handbrake on.the handbrake cable does not need tightening but the opposite slackening to cure such a problem if the handbrake is not releasing fully thus activating the switch .There is no warning light that will tell you your handbrake needs tighteningare you sure it's the handbrake warning light and not your low brake pad light suggest you go somewhere where you can get this checked out for free (kams/maybe halfords some tyre-firms do brake checks most fast-fit centres offer this service good luck

the main reason that light will flash is that your brake pads or shoes are low.... there may even be a brake fluid leakget them checked 4 your safety...
hope this helps
