Brake light light Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: brake warning light, Bert K, Mon, 8 Jul 2002 12:34:54 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The car outline is the 'pictogram'. It's supposed to tell you when you have a lamp out. It won't tell you which (left or right), but it will indicate headlights or tail lights.
It's probably telling you that you have a brake tail light burned out. Have someone press on the brake pedal while you stand behind the car and look.
However - the pictogram circuit isn't the best designed. It's not uncommon for the pictogram to tell you that you have a bulb out, but everything's working. In that case, there's a few things you can do - take the bulbs out and clean their contacts, or in some cases make sure bulbs on the left and right sides are from the same manufacturer. (the pictogram works by comparing the current between the left and right bulbs - different brands might pull different current).
But all you're being told is that you have a brake light out.
