On my CID I keep getting a warning that I have a brake light out, but I have not.
Is this a sensor worn or something more sinister?
Just rather annoying.

if you have the high level brake light check they all light up.

Yes they all light up, and it is damn annoying, Hope is not an MOT fail :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

I've had the same warning on for the last month..
Numerous checks have found nothing as all lights (including rear window light) are working.

Though I have noticed that the brake lights in the rear dont seem to light up significantly over the standard lights being on...

Perhaps an issue of the light is slowly expiring? Had a car before and it warned of this before bulbs finally blew...

[Gaffers]

did the previous owner put in LED bulbs?

[biggriffin]

for the cost of a few quids put new blubs in the back.

Take the bulbs out give the connectors a brush up then put them back in

Put good quality lamps in the stop/tail lights. AFAIK the centre high/eye level brake light isn't on the check control.

alright panic pants, its no biggy, the check is raised when the circuit is broken, if the bulbs are not blown it usually means halfords bulbs fitted, which several members have had trouble with, they dont seem to sit in the holder very well and brake contact when you hit a bump or whatever...check the bulbs seat well in the holders or try jiggling the holder to confirm the fault, you can weight the peddle with something or ask an assistant like James. hth

Di - your car is in fact two cars welded together - and you're worried about BULBS? 

In all seriousness - this error usually occurs when non GM bulbs are fitted.

Don't lose any sleep
