bulb blown warning light
the warning light which tells you that the vehicle has a blown bulb is lit, I have checked all the lights and they are all working perfectly, any one got a suggestion (other that removing the warning light!)

Have you changed a bulb recently?

Re: bulb blown warning light
No - although it does blow rear lights with a monotonous regularity, last summer I think it blew three in two months, but no blown bulbs this year just a light telling me that there is one!

Re: bulb blown warning light
My daughter had a Jag which kept showing a bulb failure, even when she had changed the bulb several times. The bulbs were from a local petrol station. In the end, she took it to the dealers who fitted a 'Jaguar approved' bulb and that cured it. Apparently, the 'brain' measures the resistance of the circuit and if it isn't within certain parameters it shows a fault.
The bulbs she had bought were slightly different resistance than the approved bulbs. [can't remember if it was higher or lower]

I was with you on that one Dave myself, but as Frank said, OE is the way to go..........unfortunately.Dave 418 wrote:The dealers told me decent bulbs would help. I was not being had by that one.

Re: bulb blown warning light
I had this once and eventually found it was a fog light buld. I had checked all the lights except the fog lights!
Not suggesting you would make the same misake but thought worth mentoning I did not check my reversing or fog lights when i did the light check.![confused3](/users/3014/30/14/83/smiles/938305172.gif)

Re: bulb blown warning light
I had a similar issue with an Alfa 156(yes I know), then realised it was a blown rear number plate light bulb I hadn't spotted. So system was cleverer than me!

Re: bulb blown warning light
I've had this and traced it to a poor contact on rear offside brake/tail bulb which sometimes came on (tail filament) and sometimes didn't. I fitted a new bulb and sprayed with WD 40 (probably not as good as switch cleaner).
Anyway it all works now![smile!](/users/3014/30/14/83/smiles/248932417.gif)

Re: bulb blown warning light
Interesting (but old) thread.
I recently bought my for AS Broadway that raises a Reversing Light Warning every time I put it into reverse. I clears if I power-cycle the Peugeot off/on, but it's obviously annoying.
I removed the bulb: 12V 21W. Cleaned it, measured the resistance at 0.7 Ohm. The bulb works fine but each time I put the van into reverse it raises a dash-Warning (which then needs a van off/on to clear).
I'll try a new OEM? (Peugoet don't make bulbs) bulb and report back. I might then try replacing the bulb with a variable a resistor to see whether I can stop this annoying warning from being raised.

Re: bulb blown warning light
Is this the triangle light? I have had it off and on since 2015 when the van was new. Peugeot main agent said it's a bulb or bad connection.
Well it happens when I start up with only the day time running lights on. I get rid of the warning by switching the lights on/off several times quickly.
Strange or what.

Re: bulb blown warning light
I've certainly experienced similar a few years ago with a car. Bought a replacement bulb, not specifying make - just "Can I have a bulb to replace this one, please?". Bulb was fine - but warning light persisted.
After a tip (I think on this Forum) I bought an Osram bulb. After fitting it, it worked fine, and the warning light disappeared permanently. Apparently the system depends upon a precise resistance, and anything different will cause the warning light.
