Bulb Failure showing on Dash

Tug Wilson · 17th November 2018, 10:11

Just replaced a headlamp (dipped) bulb. No probs - but the ikon on the computer screen is still lit and indicating the same bulb is faulty. All worked perfectly well after the replacement. Help required for resetting the computer to show all is well again. 2003 Connoisseur 1.8 diesel, saloon, automatic.

It should reset each time you start up. Check ALL the other bulbs are OK. You may need "error free" bulbs. What did you use?

You absolutely certain it isn't the little sidelight bulb on the same side this time...?

Happened to me

I had the same problem last week. I replaced the dip bulb not realizing that there was a second park light bulb in the lamp. You live and learn!!
