Bulb failure warning light S40-V40

posted by  someone claiming to be DavidSF ('00 S40) on  Wed Jul 7 07:06 CST 2004 [RELATED]


Hi,
The bulb failure warning light has started to come on occasionally when I press the brakes. The thing is I can't find any bulbs that are out, and the light doesn't always come when I press the brakes. It comes on sometimes, and not others. Any idea what's going on?

thanks
David

It doesn't take much to trigger the lamp. One of the bulbs is loosing contact and/or ground for as little as a millisecond. Try removing the bulbs and then returning them to the same socket (same bulbs). If this fails, install new bulbs.

but which bulb? Is there some way to figure out which bulb is losing contact? I'd rather not change all the bulbs!

David
