Anyone know why my lamp failure indicator light displays when all lights are working? I read the manual and it stated that if a failure happens the light will indicate as soon as the vehicles ignition is activated, but thats not the case. My light comes on when I turn on the headlights, any ideas

 

Did you check the license plate lights and the parking lights?

 

If it comes on when you turn the HEADLIGHTS on, you have a head light out.
If it comes on at the stop BEFORE that, see post 2.

The indicator does not come on with the ignition, only when the particular failed lamp is activated.
The manual (if is says what you say it does, and it probably does,) is wrong.

 

2 each license.. and front markers in the headlight housings.. me thinks manual is in error.. with no indication..

Pizza.. pop out a back up bulb and test that theory..

 

If I knew how to get to the socket in my roadster....

 

LOL.. just realized.. that's pack a lunch job on a roadster!

 

Jeez - don't you guys know yet that the roadster is EASIER than the coupe ?
All ya gotta do is cycle the top until it's up with the rear bow and tonneau raised, and you can reach right in and get to all the tail light bulbs .....

NO TOOLS REQUIRED

 

Guess your right.. you do have to lift the rear hatch on the coupe..

 

Thanks the headlamps are ok they work, I will check the other lights.

 

FWIW, the nano parking light bulbs in the corner(s) of the headlight housing can cause this and are easily overlooked.

 

My indicator light has been on intermittently since new. It's always is the license plate light. All it takes is one slam of the hatch, and one of the festoon bulbs is moved enough to break contact. I used to disassemble it and pinch the contacts. But now I just tap on the offending lens and the connection is restored.

 

BAZINGA! Aside from tight spaces, this is the perfect way to the bulbs, did it yesterday
