Wondering if you can help me. Since mechanic put a new reconditioned handbrake motor in, also he said handbrake switch, and brake switch needed replacing in. So new ones purchased. Oh and new battery. He hasn't been able to re calibrate them. :( also I have no horn, radio won't play, no windscreen wipers, windows won't operate, indicators. :( is this an easy fix? Is a wire loose? He's peeing me off, I'm due to go away in a weeks time. Recently split with my ex, so I know nothing about cars, apart from changing a wheel, and checking water/oil/ etc. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Lou xx

Hi Lou,

The electronic hand brake needs to be programmed to the car's BCM. do you have any warning lights on when the car is running? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? that would be great. You can upload it here with your response. Please let me know.
