    I thought this is more of an electronics issue.

    I'm driving my Ford Escape, and several times I noticed tool late that I had the handbrakes engaged while I'm driving. There are times I didn't notice the handbrake lamp. My bad.

    Has anyone ever installed a device to send out an alarm when the handbrakes are engaged and the car is moving already? The alarm shouldn't be scaring, just gentle enough to remind the driver that the brakes are still on.

    gawan mo ng relay, tapos micro switch sa gas pedal, at sa dulo buzzer.

    pag naka ilaw ung handbrake lights, ung relay mo naka power din, so mag close position.

    ung isang paa naka series sa micro switch, normally open, pero pag tinapakan mo ung gas pedal ma triger ung switch at mag close ito, then ung wire ikabit mo sa buzzer.

    tutunog ang buzzer pag naka handbrake ka at tumapak ka ng gas pedal, regardless if moving ka or not.

    Hi Manilablock,

    Salamat sa suggestion mo. Pinag-iisipan ko yan noong dati pa. In your version, pag-nagrev ka lang, buzzer agad. Hassle. Yung microswitch dapat nasa gearbox. Sa MT, off ito pag nasa neutral, anywhere else, "warning: brakes still engaged"

    For matics, in my case, naka-wired ito sa mga indicator lamps sa dashboard. Isip-isip...

    Baka may gizmo na nagtitinda na ito?

    pag nag rev ng naka handbrake, meron buzzer. mahirap naman na kung aandar saka lang mag buzzer, baka meron ng masira.

    pero pag naka P or N at hindi ka nag handbrake pwede ka mag rev.

    yan lan ang naisip ko na mura lan at pasok sa gusto mo.

    At lakas ng loob. Splicing and tapping wires inside the dash.

    Salamat, and enjoy!

    Meron ganyan feature ang sasakyan namin. Kapag nakahandbrake tapos umandar ka (around 15km/h) may alarm na tumutunog to warn you.

    kung ako sayo TS, always make it a habit to glance at your instrument panel, basic rule says never drive with anything red on the panel...

    Shadow,

    Sa Ford Escape sana ko ilagay. Even with the brakes engaged, di mo ramdam na mabagal. Mapansin ko na lang sa dash pag tigan ang speed ko. In my other ride, Zuki APV, pag sobrang bagal, alam ko na naka-handbrake ako.

    Not all cars had this warning feature. Extra vigilance required.

    We did it before sa old honda accord limit switch lang nilagay ko pag nasa D mag alarm sya then to reset another limit switch connected to hand break lever pag naka lower na yung hand break ma cancel na yung alarm.
