Warning light for bulb failure, but can't find a blown bulb?

[ukexposed]

Although I am sure they were working yesterday (although, you never can be 100% sure), today the "bulb failure" light has illuminated on the dash - but the only bulbs (yes, both of them) that I can find not working by walking round the car are the reversing lights.

BUT! According to the manual, this illumnated warning doesn't tell you that the reversing lights are out - they aren't included in the check - so can anyone suggest what other problem I might have!? :shrug:

Many thanks,
D.

Try one of the number plate lights

Check also brake lights are not covering the rear side lights. They run at low power if a rear side light is out to make sure you have lighting.

Ill shadow what GG said. I had the bulb failiure message and could find which was blown. Ended up removing both rear light clusters and noticed a brake light covering for another which had blown.

Taking of blown bulbs had a brake light pop so replaced it and snapped the ruddy lugs of the black plastic trim that covers the boot locking plate :mad:

hope it helps

check chafing wiring to the front lighting looms on the front crossmembers - mine was coming and going for a while as the wires gradually broke and giving interesting information on the display...
