Beneath the handbrake level there would be a small electric/electronic switch which must have got damaged so get it replaced from your mechanic. There's one more serious concern sometimes when the main brakes malfunction the same indicator glows so better get your vehicle's entire braking system thoroughly checked.

How do you push the rear caliper piston back after changing the brake pads on a vauxhall vectra with automatic handbrake adjusteri have tried pushing it back but it wont budge?
Why you can't push the piston back.The majority of calipers that incorporate a hand brake mechanism have an adjuster inside which compensates for pad wear. Forcing the piston back can damage this adjuster. Ideally you should use a piston wind back tool - this rotates the piston and pushes it back at the same time.You can get away without this tool, but do NOT use grips on the hydraulic surface! Most handbrake calipers require you to rotate the piston clockwise, do this a turn at a time, then push piston back gently (if you apply the handbrake lever slightly by hand - you'll feel when you've taken up the play)Saab 9000, Volvo 480 and Mazda handbrake calipers have an hex key adjuster hidden behind a bung - use a 4mm hex key to wind/adjust pistons on these type of calipers.Isn't the internet a wonderful thing when we're stuck - Mrbrakes.
