Default Replaced burned out bulb, but indicator light doesn't turn off

Hello,

This is my first post here so please have patience with me if I'm not totally clear with my questions.

I just purchased a used (duh LOL) 2002 GS300.

It had a burned out licence plate light bulb that my dealer replaced, but the warning light is still on.

I checked and all the rear bulbs are working.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?

And why does the warning light come on when I start the car, regardless of whether the headlights are on or not? I would think it wouldn't come on until I turn the headlights on.

the license plate bulbs dont affect the light out bulb....check again, one of your brake lights are still out.... then next time before making a new thread please search for older threads. i have seen similar ones like this around many times

have someone press the brake pedal & look at the upper rear deck brake light. one of them is out. The deck light have 4 or 6 bulbs in it.

Thanks for the replies. I did a search but I must not have used correct search terms because the results I got back really didn't seem to be very relevant. I should have been more concise in my search terms used.
