Question bulb failure indicator tied to what bulbs?

Hello all,

I have a bulb failure indication on the dash, but when I check the headlights and taillights etc all seem to be ok. Does anyone have a list of the bulbs that are tied into this indicator light?

Thanks a million,
Ed

Check your side running lights and door lights. Make sure to check your tail lights well as they are covered from the factory

Should be either a headlight, taillight, parking light turn signal bulb, or side running light

How about the brake light on the back. I had the same indicator on the dash until i replaced a blown bulb in the center brake light on the rear glass.

The warning only comes on when you step on the brakes if it's a burnt out brake light.

Could be fog light too. If I have my rear fog light switch turned on my warning light will come on.
