Most times when I step on the brake, the bulb replacement light comes on in the dash board. I have checked, but it appears that all bulbs are working correctly. Whats happening here?

You have a bulb that the filliment is broken but it will still make contact until you hit a bump or apply the brakes. It will eventually go totally out.

You can test for it by cranking the car, and with the light on, tap on the the lights around the car. It may flicker or go out. It also may not show up. Also have someone press tha brakes and check these as well.

Good Luck
