Hi,
I have a n A160 avantgarde, on which I have just replaced the brake pads all
round. Whilst the brakes are working perfectly, the handbrake warning light
on the instrument panel, remains constantly on.
I have searched around the rear discs for any cables, but have been unable
to find any. With the absence of a workshop manual for this model, I am at
a loss of how to solve this problem.
Any ideas?

There should be a sensor,aunder or behind the hanbrake,sometimes the
switch is stuck or needs to be replaced,depending on what year your
vehicle is,there's also a sensor on the brake reservoir.Hope that
might help
