    Hello mate

    Should be able to help. Do you want the diagram for the button or the actual module? Should also be able to provide the plug details as well.

    Out of interest. What do you need it for?

    And what model year is it?

    Cheers

    Cool, someone who had the same idea as me Any chance of PM'ing that diagram to me too?

    It looked to me that the handbrake module is incorporated into the handbrake motor module? The only thing I was concerned about was that it also has canbus so may need other signals to make it work?

    Before people ask why you would want to do this, I want a hydraulic handbrake without fussing about the cables for the MOT and having a very limited choice on handbrakes.

    I looked at many different types, and the Vauxhall one seemed to be the simplest in terms of setup, Audi VW etc all have a separate module to control the motor. It may be that without the canbus that it will go into a limp mode that would mean that it would still work but without the release when driving off, or emergency brake mode... Need a friendly Vauxhall engineer

    If you get the diagram please send it over for me too!

    will do. hopefully it will work or next thing to look at is the E-BRAKE but it`s a costly set up

    Re: vauxhall insignia wiring diagram

    Hi All,

    i know its an oldish post but this seems to be the only place on the internet that can help me with the insignia wiring, is it possible to obtain a copy of the wiring diagram/pinout and if anyone knows if the canbus is required for normal operation? i was thinking about gutting it and making it manual operation but would much prefer to keep the load sensor limit etc operational.

    thank you all in advance

    Re: vauxhall insignia wiring diagram

    Whilst I know diddly squat about these devices, my concern is fitting one to a 'hot rod' or a '59 Anglia et al - this isn't OEM fitment so may fall foul of MOT requirements for a mechanically operated emergency / parking brake?
    What happens if all electrical power is lost? Do they fail safe and remain locked on? I'd worry about their effectiveness as an emergency stopping mechanism - are they all or nothing type deal?

    electric handbrakes are either a geared motor which mechanically pushes on the back of the hydraulic piston, or a motor and cable assembly working a vw/sierra type rear caliper, as such they do mechanically hold the brake on. when they fail, the brake might be off or on.

    in the oe fitment if you apply the park brake whilst moving they pretty rapidly apply full effort. in our mot rollers they usually pull the brake on in stages, so there is some finesse, i struggle to see how you would achieve that retro fitting a system, surely it will be all or nothing?
