Title: Astra K electronic handbrake
Post by: Auto Addict on 17 October 2024, 14:12:42

Stopped working,

Message on dash says 'Service parking brake '

Run diagnostics- Inoperative 0v. Not very helpful.

Can't go crawling about anymore as I'm 85.

Any suggestions or is it a trip to the stealers?

Long time no see Barry.  :y

I can't offer any suggestions but I'd not be taking it to a dealer .... you must have a reputable independent locally

I've seen a few switches fail and also wiring going green and failing at the harness plug under the car

I think Addy, also of this parish, has just sorted his out with a new EPB switch. I'll give him a kick.
