The Mysterious Dead Bulb light

[EEngineer]

on my cluster, the dead light bulb warning light came on. So i assumed it was some 15 year old halogen bulb that burnt out on my car.

when i checked though, not a single dead bulb was found.

my headlights work, signals work, corners work.

on the rear, reverse work, brake lights work.

interior, my dome light work, my trunk light work.

everything works. but the dead bulb warning stays.

hmm, any other bulbs i might have missed?

How about your tail lights? CHMSL? Tail lights should all turn on (less bright) with your corners.

all my tail light works

On my old gen 3, the light bulb light came on before any bulbs blew. A week or so later, one of my tail lights went out. I would expect the same if I were you lol

and you double checked the dual filament part of the tail lights? That was the issue with mine

[EEngineer]

^ ah, could very well be.

i'll be checking my tailights frequently then

[darksparkz]

Check fuses too.

When does the warning light come on? As soon as you turn the lights on or when you step on the brakes? If it comes on when you turn your lights on, check your parking lights. If it comes on when you step on your brakes, check your brake lights.

N.E.O.

Could be corrosion in a socket, a bulb having too much resistance, bad sensor unit.

The sensor only triggers on brake and taillights.

turn signals arent blinking fast?

also, check 3rd brake light ... common culprit

Any updates ? Just curious

[EEngineer]

well, the light comes on and off. i think it's definitely one of the bulbs getting flaky. but everything works, brake lights, reverse, everything on the rear side works.

maybe i'll ask a TN buddy to come over and compare my car.

as for updates, my gf's bff asked me to teach her to drive, instead she wrecked my door and broke the stopper...took a few chunks of paint off me door.....


i might be getting rid of the thing soon =[

Sorry for your loss. I feel your pain.

You should have lined up yourself with a beater before taking her on. Noticed that most driving instructors rock rollas and civics? (oops... )

u check the tail light inside on the center?

im not sure, but i think the warning light for the dead bulb is for tail lights only...

i think anyway... im saying that mainly because i have a bad headlight, bad dome light, NO reverse lights and the front corner lights dont have a bulb at all on mine.. no warning light on my car.. even with all the fucked up lights

My warning light has come on since I bought the car last July. Not on at startup, but after I use the brakes a couple of times. All brake lights work including CHSL. I just ignore it.
