Power off. Push the mechanical brake lever forward fully. If the mechanical drum/disc cable is over-tightened or frayed, the lever fails to return the last 2mm, keeping the Hall sensor triggered during boot.
Look under the brake lever pivot. A tiny 4mm magnet sits in a plastic slot next to the Hall sensor. After drops or cold weather, the glue fails. Push the magnet back into its recess and secure with a drop of cyanoacrylate glue.
Unclip the 2-wire/3-wire brake sensor cable under the dashboard PCB, detach the mechanical drum brake barrel cable, and mount a new brake lever assembly.
