So there is a few things going wrong with it at the moment.

1. the handbrake indicator light keeps blinking on even when the handbreak is off. i believe the sensor is screwed, just need to know a simple fix if there is one.

2. back doors wont unlock, the front doors are fine.
I can unlock the back doors *sometimes* if i sit in the car. lock the car, then pull up on the back door lock thingys, then unlock the car while pulling them. this will sometimes work.

3. boot wont lock. this has happened 3 times in the last 2 days. I open the boot and when i try to close it it wont catch, just bounces back open. i ended up leaving it like that over night and in the morning it was fine.

any help would be MUCH appreciated.

The handbrake warning light may be flickering because of three main reasons:-
1) The handbrake switch may be faulty. (i.e sticking).
2) The low level brake fluid level switch may be faulty.
3) Yor brake fluid oil level may be just on the minimum reservoir mark.

1) low on brake fluid, pads maybe worn down.
2) bit of wd40 on the mechanism bit behind the door cards.
3) wd40 on the catch or new catch from the scrappy.
