Description of the problem | Handbrake harness not routed as designed. From the picture you can see the harness not inside the clip. This makes the handbrake harness short from point to point. Which will lead to my rear passenger side brake always on. And also, it will cause a serious safety issue if i want to use my handbrake to stop my vehicle. The force applied on passenger side is way more than drive side ( it was installed correctly ) . And it may lead my passenger side handbrake wiring harness broken ( because of the incorrect routing ) i found it out when my brake light in on. My front brake still working for another 1100 miles while my rear brake sensor tell me i need to change my brake . We change the rear passenger brake and found out its difficult to clip the handbrake wiring harness to right hole. Then we track the wiring done. It's shocks me . The routing is 100% incorrect. You can see the correct handbrake hole is empty. |
