"STOP LIGHT" light on dash???

[ninefourteener]

I'm not a complete moron...... but the light comes on when I press the brake.

The owners manual says I have a bulb burnt out.

...... Except I don't..... all the lights work.

Remove each bulb one by one until you find the one thats corroded. Clean or replace the socket and install new bulb sealed with di-electric grease

So it's possible for a socket to still work, but tell the ECU that it isn't working???

Interesting.

I believe it keys off of drop in power consumption, which can be a burnt out bulb or a higher resistance connection. Theres a module in the right side of the trunk that power is fed through that monitors for that. If your tail lights are like mine before I resealed them, then they could allow ample condensation in there to screw with the bulb contacts.

Are we talking about the brake light being on? I was a little unclear on what light we are talking about.

^^^ No...

The idiot light on the dash that says "Stop Light" comes on every time I press the brake.

According to the owners manual, it means I have a brake light bulb out.

The confusing part, is that all my brake lights, turn signals, and backup lights all work perfectly.
