Bulb Warning

[rider]

My 2.2 LS (2002) has startred showing the bulb failure light but when i checked all of the bulbs were fine. The passenger side rear fog is not lighting up so i changed the bulb anyway but problem still there. Any ideas?

[DAW]

best to check with both lamp holders out as the warning light is very accurate and a bulb will have gone. dont forget the near side fog bulb is a dummy as there is only 1 fog light. :rockon:

dont forget full beam as well, try ALL and every light, even reverse lights too

Mine tells me what bulb has gone on what corner of the car , although they havent blown , just pulled one out to try it !

[rider]

Already checked every bulb and they are all fine, as for the one foglight I am pretty sure both worked before, I wonder if previous owner bodged the wiring?
Will investigate further later. Thanks guys.

i had this problem a few months ago. it was intermittent. the warning light used to come on when it fancied. it turned out to be a dodgy conncetion in the sidelights in the front. i just took the sidelight out and put it back in and it never happened again....

Interior lights?

I took a car on a test drive from a dealer and the bulb light was on. I asked what it was and was told it covered the interior/boot, and Number plate too.

My Veccy has been into main stealers today for the same fault (only a month old). Started off intermittant and they couldnt find it. Over the weekend it became 'Brakelight' all the time on display along with the failure light. I noticed 2 of the 16 leds in the boot brake light were not working, they have ordered me a new one today :)

Just a wobbly xenon light to cure now (they want the foreman to take the car home 1 night so he can drive it in the dark - i'm not to sure may just wait till clocks go back!)

Must be common, because I had the same, front sidelights. Drove me nuts for ages.

My son has a similar problem on his 03 2.2 SRi Dti his dashlight warning lit up and he had a headlight bulb blown which he has changed, however all the lights are fine now , but the warning light keeps displaying. Can anyone help a bit baffled to say the least.

hi,

well well well

mine has just started doing this over last couple of days,checking bulbs later.

Mine has a habit of occasionally warning me the one of my headlights has failed, usually while I can see its reflection... I think the system is sometimes a little over-sensitive.

Mine Turned Out To Be Damp Getting In When The Door Was Open And It Rained Into The Car, Quick Blast Of Contact Cleaner And It Never Came On Again, Also Beware Of The Window Control Panel On The Door On The "c" Is Also Prone To The Rain And This Needs This Spraying Now And Again, Just Had To Do Mine As The Door Switch Showed Door Open In The Display When It Was Shut, See Lee's Post (10th Dec) And My Cure For It.

Just had mine into vx for sidelight bulb failure even though they were both working they told me it was the element in one of the bulbs had a fracture in it they asked if I wanted them to change the bulb at a cost of £29.72 as they had to strip the unit down and it would take 20 mins needless to say went to halfords bought a pair of bulbs for 3.49 and fitted both within 5 mins. Also car got to go back in as there is an outstanding recall on the alternator, just waiting for a phone call to say they have the part in.
