Technical HELP check running lights HELP

Well.............
several years of frustration later........
Its sorted:D
Some time ago i replaced both head lamp bulbs as one had gone
regular weekly check of lights working
(didnt know as always had the yellow triangle and running light check error)
(replaced both and still got yellow exclamation and check running lights error):bang:

Yesterday got new error check day time running lights so got out and yes a bulb gone trip to auto factors for 2x bulbs replaced
(working ok but still got yellow exclamation and check running lights error):bang:

Today quick check that bulbs are all working and a side light bulb was out :eek:
So again another trip to motor factors 2 new side light bulbs fitted and after a couple ofminutes engine running and cycles of lights on and off error cleared

so even if bulbs are/appear working you can get errors
check running lights must mean side/head lamps:confused:
check day time running =day time running lights

Well seems to be behaving itself again now:confused:
when lights turned on error came up after a frew seconds then minutes later went off but hasnt been error since .
so hopefully error has cleared.:worship:

All this points to a bad connection somewhere in the system. Possibly a bulb contact that you have cleaned by wiping with a new bulb. I always give new low power bulb contacts a clean with some contact cleaner (or even WD-40 at a pinch) on a bit of clean cloth. Don't use it on halogen / xenon bulbs though, they get too hot and it will ruin the "glass" if you get even the tiniest bit on it.
