Ok, I've checked brake fluid, and all lights and everthing is fine. Also checked
the park brake to see if it was causing lite. What else do I need to check for this? Brakes work ok, but whenever I get in and start car> then hit brake to put in gear, the "brake lamp" lite pops on.
check all the tail lights might have a stop light out and youll only see it if you push the brakes
Checked that too, no brake lites out. Go figure. I'll double check that tonite
just for the helluvit.
Hmmmm thats weird ill see what i can find out
go buy one or two new bulbs. replace them one or two at a time -- even though yours still work. sometimes the lights will still work, but their resistence fades below the replacement threshold. so, the idiot light pops on in the cluster.
also, remove all the bulbs from their sockets and clean the sockets well. nearly 20 years of crap builds up in there and can corrode the tiny contact points causing the idiot light.
I'll try that...thanks mouchyn!
also the brake light sensor might be out. I have the same problem u do. And belive me i tryed everthing. i mean everything works just need to replace that sensor
hmmm, i'll try that. because i have the exact same problem. i've kinda given up the idea that there's actually a problem and ignore it.
Ok, so where's the sensor located??
It's the little black box thingy on the back of the taillight.Quote:

It also happens when you use bulbs that are not the recommended OEM replacements. They may all look the same, but some have less wattage than others. Make sure you install the right bulbs.
