Hi everyone,

On the dashboard of my car is an indicator to replace a bulb.




Problem is, I've checked all my rear lights and can't see any of them out. Any thoughts as to what light it may be that is out?

Thanks in advance!

When that happends, most people forget to check the third brake light.

Having said that, It will also help to know under what circumstances that happends, ie:

A) As soon as your start your car?

B) As soon as you turn your light on?

C) As soon as you press the brakes?

D) Randomely?

Or possibly reverse lights? I'm not even sure if that warning light is wired to the reverse lights..

According to the wiring diagram, the tail light failure sensor is only wired to the four red combination lights at the back of the car.

Have someone step on the brake to make sure the brake lights work. If not, you've probably got a bad tail light failure indicator module.

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for your immediate responses! You are all awesome! I apologize for not coming back on here right away... had too many things to do, too little time.

PFB (Phil) - Option C. When I step on the brakes is when that indicator will show up, indicating something with the brakes, for sure :-) Sure enough, it is that third brake light that no one remembers, myself included :-) Thanks for that!

Lostape45 - That was a consideration too, but was told by my "spotter" that my reverse lights work.

Speedkar9 - thank you for that thought. Turns out PFB hit the nail on the head. It is indeed the third light that no one remembers, the one looking out the back window.

Again, thank you all for your considerate and immediate answers. Thank you, thank you, thank YOU ALL! Much appreciated!
