Default Tail Light Bulb

I recently replaced the rear passenger brake light bulb and the warnning light on the dash will not go out! I unhooked the battery for 30 minutes to see if it would reset to avail.
Anyone have an answer?
Thanks
Heath

You either have another bulb out or the one you replaced is the incorrect wattage. Does the warning come on with the lights or when you press the brakes?

The light comes on when the headlights come on.
Thanks

Nope. And you aren't going to like my answer.

When I bought my car the left hand foglight was out. The current owner offered to fix it and I said no I'd switch it and the right to LED.

So in order to replace you have to remove the front bumper cover. So with all the work involved I replaced ever single bulb with the best LED's I could find on Amazon. LOL

Took about 3 hours to do the work.

There are a lot of bulbs. Look at each side and verify same light is coming on other side. All it takes is 1 bulb out for the warning. Also make sure the right type of bulb is installed. A lot of people have had trouble putting in led bulbs or a brighter type bulb.
