I replaced the small top of three light bulbs in my rear brake light. The old bulb was a basic incandescent original to the 2003 year car. I replaced it with an LED bulb. However, the brake light warning light (and audible ding when I start the car) on my dash will not go away. I understand this is because the LED bulb uses so little electricity that the sensor cannot detect it has been replaced.

Is there a way to turn off the warning and keep the LED bulb?

If not, where can I get the original bulb online? I have looked but have no luck. I am with the U. S. Army overseas and cannot drive to a local autoparts store.

Thanks.

That should sort you out

 

To change the sensing register in the “Multiplex Rear Junction Computer” is the way to go for a skilled DIYer.
