I have the early folding handbrake handle and getting the flashing light to go out is a two-handed process to get the switch fully depressed.
Is there supppsed to be a spring somewhere on the handle mechanism to help release the brake? Anyone got a picture? Thanks, Tom |

I just took mine apart last week.
There is a spring at the yoke just before the firewall. Other than that it probably just needs cleaning and lube at the pivot and cable joints. Mine was frozen where the cable connects to the handle. |
