Any suggestions why my bulb warning light randomly comes on and off. Sometimes it illuminates saying i have got a light out. Then I do another journey and it is fine.
If I take out my rear bulb holders and fiddle with them they work fine again.
My headlight warning bulb comes on whenever i turn on my headlights - its because one of my parking lights has blown and when you turn the knob around to turn the headlights it turns on the parking light for a second. The light then turns off after a minute or two.
It took me about 3 months before I found out that I had a license plate light out. I did not know that there were 2 bulbs there. My bulb warning light was driveing me nuts because I could not see that I had a light out. I thought that the something was wrong with my warning light but after I replaced the bad bulb all is well again.

The bulb warning light is clever, it gives you advance warning. It can detect when the brake lights are wearing out. Check your brake-light bulbs, maybe they will soon burn out.
I was having the same issue. My passenger brake light turned out to be dim compared to the other... it was definitely on it's way out.
I removed the assembly Saturday and replaced the bulb. Next, once I find it, I've read here that it would be good to treat the socket and bulb holder with Ox-Gard.
