Dash Symbol... No issue?

Hey guys(and gals),

I got the symbol for what I am pretty sure means a light bulb is out...

Checked literally every light and they all work.

Any ideas of any other things that could trigger this? I don't think its my led AE's because i've had them for over a year with no issue.

I had the same thing. One of the tail lights was less bright than the others. I replaced all tail lights/brake lights. It fixed the issue. Shouldn't be more than 35-40 bucks.

Oh this was a classic!

Happened to me on my 2009 coupe, took me 10 bulbs in nearly 3 hours to figure it out.

So usually, it's either dirty contacts for the bulbs, or the bulbs themselves being the slightest bit weaker than the rest.

Yeah, it sucks.

When the warning comes up, hold the BC button, it will give you a code that tells you which light the warning is for... for me it was my rear left brake light. The light was working nothing wrong with it. SO, to solve this, I opened my trunk banged on the cover 3 times, and BAM its gone ! It's been gone for almost a month now

Ahh! Thank you sir! This is perfect, apparently it's my left brake light as well.

Ordered some led bulbs for shits and giggles. But will try banging on it too
