Hand brake switch

[Error404]

Been searching in the FA for the handbrake switch for ages and can't find it.
Its the one that turns on / off the dash warning light. I managed to destroy mine, need to replace it

Am I being blind? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers
Alex

The number you need is 893 947 563.

it sits right under the handbrake itself, can be easily seen if you remove the centre console

I managed to destroy mine with a wire brush attachment on the angle grinder

Time to resurrect this thread from the past. Can anyone provide me with a picture or description of how the handbrake switch is assembled? In particular, I need to know where the tapered spring sits. From memory I thought it sat direct underneath the switch plunger
with the larger diameter end of the spring positioned at the bottom.

Searching around I've found a few poor diagrams and photos that appear to have it inside the body of the switch. Can anyone help with this please?

edit: I'm reasonably sure the spring should be inside with the larger end of the spring at the bottom. Can anyone confirm this for me please?

Can't remember at all! I'll see if I have a pic from when I fitted my new one

Much appreciated.

Here's a pic showing how I have it assembled just now. I think the blade terminal should be bent at an angle. Something isn't quite right as the switch prevents the handbrake lever from fully disengaging. I'm sure it's really straightforward and I'm over-thinking it.
