Picture of a "Yellow Bulb" iluminates on dash

Post by **bronxnativ** » 15 Oct 2010, 17:09

I checked the forum, but nothing is listed, so hopefully someone can help me with this:
Each time I press on the brakes, A yellow light with a picture of a light bulb illuminates. Anybody know what this means???
I have a 95 850 GLT, non turbo.

Thanks!

It means one of your brake light bulbs is burned.

Thank You Icelandic!!!! I was pulling my hair trying to figure this out. I thought maybe it was related to the brake fluid level. Again, I appreciate your reply!

That bulb will iluminate upon steping on the brake whenever one of the brake lights is burned. If it iluminates continuously when you have the beams on, it means one of the running lights is burned (might be the beam bulb or the corner light bulb)

Good luck!

Even one of the high mounted 3rd brake light bulbs burning out will trigger the fault light.

When it comes to brake lights, tail lights, and headlights I always replace them in pairs or in a set in the case of the brake lights.

When one goes the other usually isn't far behind.
