about 2/3 weeks ago my passenger side brakelight blew, car told me this and indeed wasnt working.
i took out the bulb which was blown, so i replaced it all. No problems there then.
then, about wednesday this week, i had to emergancy stop. on doing so the bulb failure message came up for the passenger side. But during the drive hime it was flickering on/off and really getting on my tits.
I got someone to stand behind the car while i activated the lights, and it wasnt working. Then the message went and it was working, so checked for loose connections, bulb condition, type, etc and all is fine. i even popped a new bulb in as well
The rest of this week i have had intermittant bulb faults from that side on the brake light, and a work mate who followed me said sometimes it was working, sometimes it wasnt.
This is confusing the hell out me now as its only effecting one side. How does the bulb warning system work and how is it earthed to the car?
