Re: Strange "Bulb Out" Indicator Problem 900 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Richard Jewell on  Fri Oct 19 06:25 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi Steve,

I had just this in my 245. The lamp would intermittently illuminate and would go out always when I braked. This was solved by replacing BOTH stop/tail bulbs with new items from the same manufacturer.

Different makes and age of bulb can draw different currents and the warning sytem is sensitive enough to detect this.

When checking this through bear in mind the words of a wise man called Zee - "Intermittent = Mechanical". It could be that something is physically awry, a broken wire, dodgy earth point etc.

Footnote - Some time after this the lamp came on continuously for no obvious reason so I removed the bulb (a delicious irony in a bulb failure warning system) and check all lights each weekend when I clean him.

Rich.
