Hello,
used search and read many results but mine doesn't seem to fit in
last week I was driving normally and the Hand brake light came on,
close to home so drove 1km and parked, breaking fluid was dripping from rear/right side wheel and almost no fluid in reservoir,
Friday changed brake cylinder and bled the system (all 4 brakes) topping up fluid as I went, took almost 1,5lts of DOT4 to take out air and old oil.

did over 300km since and it runs and brakes OK but now TC+ABS+HDC come on,
after a minute amber HDC goes of, TC+ABS stay on and after a while go of by themselves,
if I turn it off with the warning lights on next time I start it they are usually off,
what could I have messed up?

only other strange thing I've noticed since is rear window blade does not go back to park position.
 
The handbrake light : is there a switch at the bottom of the lever ? I can't remember if there is on mine .
Have you peeled back the gear stick gaiter and checked the condition of the yellow HDC wire and the connection ?
 
only 2 lights does your ABS light come on and stay on until your going bout 4-5 mph if not then your abs light could be wired up to go out instantly like mine was as i thought i only had 2 lights until i realized what was wrong

handbrake light switch: under the rubber on the left side
HDC switch/wire: working properly, with switch on steady green light on 1st & reverse and blinking on other gears

lights on instrument binnacle: all test ok at key in ignition and go off as it's supposed after engine start and +/- 5mph for ABS
