Handbrake switch
Has anyone got a picture of the standard Ford handbrake switch arrangement? I can't find my donor one anywhere so I think I'm going to
have to get creative.....?!

My mk1 escort handbrake didn't have a switch, so I put one on dash...
possible option for you?

Ben,
I thought the brake test switch (and indication light) had to be linked to the handbrake switch?

No requirement in the SVA for it to be on the handbrake, it can be a switch or even a simple timer circuit wired to the ignition switch. You just
need a simple method of testing the bulb from the drivers seat.
Modern cars only put it on the handbrake it to prevent warrantee claims from numpties that leave the handbrake on accidentally, so they use the brake
fail warning for both purposes.

Just checked and it's the same for IVA
quote:
The hydraulic system failure warning lamp must be secure,
operational, visible during daylight and darkness from the driving
position, identifiable (ie labelled in a recognised form – see diagram
1 for an example) and fitted with a “test facility” that enables its
operation to be checked from the driving position without opening
the reservoir.

Has anyone got a circuit diagram for the Ford Master cylinder test circuit?
(And why when you do a search does it sometimes says "web page has expired" when you try to go back to the search results?)
