Bulb failure light
Hi - not been around for some time but it seems that on this forum that means that all is running well with no problems!
Have got a niggle now on my 940 saloon in that the bulb failure light shows every time I apply the brakes. Simple - I thought. But then I checked and left and right and hi-level brake lights all work!!!! What have I missed? |

I had a similar (ish) problem, in that I thought all three brake lights were working.
It turned out that the bulb in the high brake light wasn't seated properly and did not always come on. Worth a check ??

Spouse into action!
Cheers - I did only try it once I must admit. I'll get outside now and get the wife to stand at the back whilst I give it multiple testings!

Hi,
It may be handy to clean each of the holders and contact for each bulb just to make sure all is in good working order. While you and spouse are out there.. Des. . .

Thanks
Did not see your help until we came back in but will get out with the emery cloth tomorrow and then get the spouse back into action again!!
P.S. All lights work all the time as well as the failure light working every time. P.S.S. I was made to cook dinner as penance! |
