Default Lightbulb out warning light...

My warning light indicating a bad bulb comes on now when I turn on the headlights. I have looked and there are no bulbs out anywhwere on the exterior of the car. Is there a way to reset this warning light? I had my car in the shop last week and they had to remove the trunk and they had to disconnect the spoiler brake light and the (2) round lights on the trunk lid as well. I'm wondering if this set off some sort of error and that is why the light is still on.

Thanks,

T

Check with all your flashers and brakes lamps on as well. Some of the bulbs are Dual Filament and only one filament may have burned out.

I agree that you should check that the driving lights and brake lights are working. If so, the lights might be grounding out on the body of the car and causing the short.

Oh! You might also want to check your license plate lights! If they're on, double check them. Grab new bulbs, and insert them into the old ones. I had this problem for like a month, and when I changed my chrome trunk bar, I found the bugger :P
