Trevor Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Hi Joel....welcome to the Forum You could see if the brake light switches need replacing (very cheap to buy) as they tend to fail. Cheers Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hello Joel, Can I take it you are referring to the "bulb-out" warning light being still illuminated? If so, appreciating you may have known that one brake light wasn't working and thought that was the only bulb which had failed, it could, and is most likely to be , that you have another bulb which has actually failed as well. You really need to do a full lighting check on the car - at dusk is easiest- to make sure all bulbs are lit when they should be. Be careful with rear (tail) light bulbs and don't assume because the light is lit that all is well. Some back lights actually have two tail light bulbs as a fail safe and if one has failed and only one works ( but still lights up the back light) then the warning light will stay on. Hope some of this helps, Kind regards, Gareth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
