Brake lights broke?, lighs say no lights. Options

[bigredcelica]

Hi all,

On my Celica GT I have an irritating problem. I have an indicator light on the dash that resembles a car with semi circles emiting from the rear corners of the car. This light comes on when the brakes are applied. A friend of mine said he had this in his car and it was an indicator that the break light set had a blown bulb. Needless to say all bulbs were correct and working, as I am here asking the question.

I have seen suggestions about break fluid and break pads. My rear pads were recently changed (disc), my fluid was topped up and bled and my front discs are still healthy but I had this indicator before these changes. The emergency break has its own indicator light and this works OK.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I checked the bulbs and were placed in the holder correctly. They also work for both elements, i.e., both the break light and the parking light work. You suggest that they may still work but come back as a high resistance. Is this as either a brake or a parking light or both? I will be trying to replace each bulb with a new one today to see which may be at fault. SHould this not work have you any other thoughts?
