It is always helpful if you list the MY and other vehicle details.

Follow the procedure in the Owner's Manual for resetting the handbrake.

If I remember right, the fault light is on because the EPB motor itself has a sensor as to how far and how much resistance it should feel when engaged. I don't know why only one side would lock up.
Did you perhaps remove and forget to reseat the bung that fastens the brake cable in its bracket? This tan/ off-white thing.

If all checks out, I'd try to engage and disengage the parking brake by bypassing the module and trying to reset inside the car.
This video might be of some help to you:


Remember to reconnect your fuse!

I have already viewed this video before I brought this emergency brake issue with the forum however my vehicle is a 2009 XJ not a 2005 and could not find this module with proper wire arrangement - is there a way to turnoff /disconnect this repeated bonging sound while driving. Hopefully you have a solution to this dilemma. Thanks in advance to your reply/solution.
