problem with a bulb (i think)

[TomKat99]

Hi I'm have a problem with the computer. I think its trying to indicate that there a bulb out. Ive checked all outside bulbs even had the interior panel off the boot to find there is only only side the fog light on. All interior lights and the gauges light are OK. One thing i have notice is the rear passenger interior light (where the jesus handle is) has not got the option to come on when the doors open.
Everything seems to be OK so any ideas?

Have you fitted HIdD's or any LED bulbs?

No dont think so mate. Head lights look normal. The dails and gauges lights are red but i think thats standard

Check your rear brake light bulbs mine were occasionally touching together ( the elements) meaning they wouldnt work and the autocheck told me i had a bulb out but every time i checked the bulbs staionary they would be working fine.
While i was driving though over bumps they would be touching causing the bulb to fail... Its a true story ..
Took me about three weeks to work this out...

I asked a few of my mates who still work with cars( i gave up doing it for money a long time ago so i could enjoy it as a hobbie) and i said was shocked to find this on my car but two of them laughed saying they had seen loads like it.. Might be some poor bulbs made around here...
But this is not a wind up it was the way it happened, I was ment to take pictures and put it on here but you know how it is ... Becasue it really was doing my head in.

Funny you should mention naff bulbs, I remember getting one (which turned out to have a crossed filament) for one of my runabouts and it caused all the lights to come on every time I braked (as the filaments for the brake light crossed into the circuit for the running tail light) ...I spoke to a guy at a local garage and he also said it's quite common.
