Parking brake applied light staying on and beeping

[charliebroderick]

Hi Guys,

just reaching out for some help as my A4 B7 has developed this issue. When i release the parking brake the light stays on the dash and the car beeps whilst moving. the handbrake is definitely off and the lever fully released. 

It is very annoying so any help would be appreciated.

thanks

I suggest you find and test the handbrake switch as a first step. It may be seized by debris if it is on the cabin floor or under the carpet.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Could be an issue with the switch
