I just received a "Lamp Defective" signal on my dash. It appears that my headlights and parking lights still work fine, so does anyone know what this indication light might mean?

Thanks,

hi there

to quote from the book ---

at key position 2 in steering lock the indicater lamp weakly lights up and should go out with the engine running.

flashing of indicater lamp at key position 2 in steering lock or with the engine running indicates the failure of a bulb.

if a bulb of the vehicle exterior lighting is burnt out, the indicater lamp only lights up as long as the exterior vehicle lighting is switched on.

if a bulb of the stop lamps or the turn signal lamps is burnt out, the indicater lamp lights up when braking or actuating the turn signal and goes out only after the engine is shut off.

notes.

the indicater lamp also lights up when a wrong type bulb is installed.

cheers

sebastian.

 

Sebastian,

Thanks, I discovered that it was my brakes lights. More money into the car, again.
