warning lamp for rear lights on dashboard

jarek · 10-11-2006, 07:56 PM

I’m having problem with “rear lights” warning lamp on dashboard.

( and I did check all position and break bulbs)

When starting engine, light comes on and stays till I press break pedal for the first time.

When I turn on position or main lights, warning light is on. When breaking warning light goes off and back on.

Any idea?

Theres a little yellow box under the drivers side taillight that is probably bad. Try getting a used one from the junkyard. It should solve that problem. Or one of your taillights or directionals are out.

I noticed this yellow box when checking bulbs.
Is this box responsible for lighting warning light on dashboard?
