Re: Stop Lamp???

I've always found the easiest way to explain it is a fault of excessive resistance, even though it's not technically correct. I've seen problems with these on some of the older Toyotas, and we would do exactly what was suggested, just replace all the bulbs and usually it would fix it, even if one didn't appear to be out. But I have also had to clean and replace bulb sockets to get the light to go off. I don't remember anyone having such headaches with one on a SVX though, but I wouldn't doubt it as they get older.

And for the record.I've never seen mine come on either, and I've had my car since 1999.
