Hi my new conny cdti has its warning light on to say it has bulb failure
Changed 3 bulbs which were faulty and now they all work.
However warning light refuses to go out?
Is there anything that needs to be reset?

Check number plate lights & brake lights.When a brake light fails,the tail light takes its place as a safety measure,or vice versa

You may have put in new bulbs but if the contacts are also dodgy, even a new bulb may show as failed:mad:

The contacts to the rear indicator and reversing light on one side where poor, bulb now works, but do you think the poor contacts are giving the failure?
If so will try and clean them a bit more?
All lights now double checked and working failure warning still on

Have you started the car,or just turned the ignition on:shrug: If you start it,& all bulbs are ok,then the warning light should extinguish.:}

Reversing lights aren't on the bulb failure circuit as they are not a legal requirement.
