They've aged and now they offer less resistance than when they were new. Replace with a pair of decent branded ones and the message will go away, it's a false error.

Don't worry Glenny Boy. I'm too inquisitive for my own good most of the time. Coupled with myself being a bit mechanically retarded doesn't help  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Glenny Boy if it is any consolation I went through exactly same situation - neighbour checked lights and all fine but fault light came on. At the finish I just put new bulbs in and no probs thereafter.

Lets clarify (For post 1998 cars).

Switch on (without foot on brake), you should get:

CHECK BRAKELIGHT

Foot on brake, this should extinguish, if it doesn't, its likely a failed brake switch.


If you get:

BRAKE LIGHT

thats the check control unhappy with the bulb conditions, so check bulb, holder, brightness, and if necessary, replace bulbs for quality items.

Pre 98 similar, but no CHECK BREAKLIGHT, just illuminates the CHECK icon until brake pressed.

I had a similar problem after pulling one of the bulbs to measure the quiescent current (prompted by another thread on here) a week ago.

Next time I drove off, the BRAKE LIGHT warning came on and I stopped the car.  It is a doddle to drop the rear seat and pull the light sub-assembly out and you can press the pedal and see the lamp at the same time.  What a design!!!!

Re-seating the bulb was all that was required in my case.  Mighty odd as the connections are as clean as can be (visually).
