When I'm driving with the exterior lights on, everything will work fine but about 5 or 10 minutes in the orange lighting indicator pops up on the dash. Its indicating that a light is out and its always my left tail light. Now I figured it would just be a loose bulb or fuse but here's where it gets tricky. Whenever I press the brakes the brake light(which is the same as the tail light) illuminates. So the bulb must not be out, and I don't think its the fuse for that reason. I have no idea what the issue is or how to fix it. Help?
If I'm on the right page with you... The tail light and brake light share the same socket.. dual element bulb. Replace bulb and you should be good to go. Be sure to get the correct bulb.. don't remember the exact number but it's NOT the 1157.. contacts are slightly different on them.
