sounds like the wire maybe splitting on the front passenger side part of the loom. Brake pad warning sensor is also part of the same loom.

Not sure about the handbrake light, is he sure its the handbrake light? If its a Orange circle in orange brackets then thats the brake pad warning light

dodgy level sensor in the brake fluid reservoir?
