Hi All,

Not had to put much on here lately but got a problem with the Lights warning lights, The car had its MOT 4 days ago and passed with no problems! :D Yesterday the little red Light warning light comes on when i brake, Iv checked all the lights and fluids and all is well, could the shaking of the car in the MOT brake or made a wire loose or do i have a Gremlin camping out in my car? The car is a 1990 SWB NA manual if it makes a different. any advice or help would be welcome, keep up the good work all.

The car can not see the brake lamp resistance, you have a break lamp problem, have you checked that all the brake lamps work?

mine does that too although all the lights work perfectly. I believe it has something to do with the resistance of the bulb i.e you change the bulb to one that has a lower resistance than the original ones, everything works fine except the warning light comes on because it thinks there is a problem due to the lower resistance in the bulb.

 

something like that

Yeah checked all the bulbs and they all come on when brake pedel is pressed down.could it be a case of bleeding the air system?

Iv had the car for a year and a bit with the same bulbs and it never done it then its only started doing it within the last day

Check your rear bulb holders, mine used to do it even tho the lights still worked, was corroded bulb holder in the end, changed that all fine

I'll give them a check, be a trip to zed world if it is. Cheers
