the warning light comes on when brake pedal is depressed,but all stop:tail light bulbs are ok :smash:

what's the problem? :rolleyes:

Fluid Low?

Have your inner brake lights been converted to rear fog lamps? this will cause the warning light to come on

I know that but i'vnt got rear fog lamps.

i've put a n/a tail light instead of the oem tt spoiler( with the old bulbs in the new tail light,so it's the good voltage!)

Iff all your bulbs work, then I'd go for the low fluid level, it may not look low, but certainly worth a check. Mine did it, but it looked ok, then I topped it up just a little and it's been OK ever since..... about a year now :D

the brake fluid level is ok and it's just the stop/tail warning light come on,not the brake light .

Go to each bulb in turn and take them out and clean tham very carefully, one at a time and check again after each one is cleaned. Has it sounds like a dodgy earth connection in that case.

Try replacing all 4 bulbs - known cases where a bulb gives a 'bulb out' light even when its actually working :confused:

it measures current draw. a bulb that has started to go can have a higher resistance, it will still illuminate but the bulb failure unit sees the incorrect draw on the circuit
