I had this very recently, kept getting the triangle light coming up followed by a message which didn’t stay up long enough to read it.

It was for the brake lights though, when the triangle came up I went to the back and sure enough light out, I lightly hit the cluster and light came back on

Replaced bulbs and been fine since, so I think my previous bulb was in the state of dying but not fully

Check the book or even the cluster where the bulb mounts, earlier cars have 10w type later cars only 5w, so if correct the car thinks there's a bulb out, (2×5, not 2×10)

As above. Wrong bulbs. Replace with 10W and your father or mothers brother's name is Robert

I just ordered it and I will pick it up tomorrow since every store is closed today..y, I just checked it and from the manual it should be 10W, but the former owner did not take care of this, thank you very much for the valuable information

thnx for tip , in my case i think @John202020 found exactly the problem I have, let's hope after I get and replace with 10w this problem will disappear..
