query about bulb out warning
On a high line dash, can the bulb out warning indication be cancelled until next time the ignition is switched on or off?

I think you have to put up with it until the blow bulb is replaced.

Using toaf, I think you can switch off the monitoring. At least the cold monitoring anyway (it doesn't check them until the bulb in question is switched on).
I have not tried this, as I think it is a great feature to have especially the cold monitoring. Sent from my SM-A600FN using Tapatalk

ok thanks.
I had a bulb out warning but could do nothing about it until I got home, the warning stayed on all the way to and from work. I Just wanted to turn it off for the journey to work, have it come on when I left work and then turn off once I'd gotten the new bulb on the way home. not sure what the problem was but it was not a blown bulb. It is working now macafee2 |

Your problem will likely be dependant on the bulb. It could be the wiring breaking down (which was how mine started). Sidelight front, chafed over the chassis leg below the headlamp unit. It may even just be a dodgy bulb connection, common in the rear. A bit of scouring pad dabbed with wd40 on the holders and tracks cured it.

Check behind the boot lining on that side and check the earth point is tight. I had these strange bulb fail warnings on my indicator also, and this was the cause. The earth point has several black wires bolted down on to the inner wheel arch inside the boot.
As to the reason why it got loose i have no idea because the bolt was quite tight to turn, just not fully in the hole. I can only assume its been that way for 18 years but only just started giving this warning. |
