the handbrake light with the abs light indicates 2 faults.

I believe the handbrake light is also linked to fluid level.

Checked my brake fluid which is on max.

It's not the abs light that stays on (it may stay on but I can't tell as the bulb has blown), it's the airbag light.

So airbag light on = handbrake light off.
Handbrake light on = airbag light off.

How do I loosen the handbrake?

It takes 1 click to apply the handbrake & only goes up to 3 clicks max. There is a slight rubbing/feint clunking from the back right. Do you think these could be connected?

Thanks for the help so far.
