Default How to get rid of Brake light warning?

I bought this SC300 a couple weeks ago and I noticed that the brake light warning was ON in my gauge cluster of my SC300.

Does anyone know what I need to replace/fix to get rid of this?



Thanks for the Help in Advance!

i changed the bulbs on mine, i still cant get the light off. i think the best way is to take appart your dash and remove the actual light from the gauge cluster lol

Be sure to check the bulb in the window or wing light if you have one.

Someone I know well missed that one.(me)

My SC is a 93 and ever since I upgraded my tail lights to the 97 + I got that warning light? Maybe it has something to do with the newer tail lights not being mated to the pre 97 models?? It probably shouldn't but you never know..

the best thing you should do is check the grounds in the light socket check those if the grounds loose or not connected then the light will come on saying a bulb is out but first make sure you don't have any burnt out lights

Yep my SC300 is originally a 1993 but everything was converted to 97+

Maybe that might be the same problem as Wicked SC.

I just finished changing the bulbs for the window light

Speaking of warning lights. Who has disabled the ABS and gotten the light to go off as well?
