I'll guess that the warning system looks for an open circuit. It's possible that you've got moisture/corrosion/a frayed or partially cut wire somewhere in the circuit that's causing an intermittent rise in resistance, triggering the warning.
The 9k's warning system was notorious for false warnings, and required identical lamps on either side, clean connectors and solid grounds.
Try taking the bulbs out and cleaning the connections, maybe spray with contact cleaner. Check the wiring as best you can. Hopefully that will clear things up.
