Default Bulb failure warning sensor

It happened to me like 3 mos. ago, I was changing a bulb in the back, turn signal, I changed it, works perfect, but after that the bulb failure sensor turns ON when I turn the headlights ON, or when I push the brake pedal, if I have the headlights OFF, no problem, but it will turn ON every single time I use the brakes, fuse is ok, I don't know where else should I look...

All of the bulbs working correctly?

Also make sure they all match. Either all silver Bases or all brass bases.

If you mix them that could cause the light to come on.

Hi Tech, unless there is a bulb that I don't see or know about, all of them are working properly, I think I'll have to look at the bases,do you think I'll have to look at all of them or at wich ones should I?

You could check them all or start with the Brake lights.

Hey Tech, could the bulb in the shifter be the problem?, now I remember that I had that doubt before..., this bulb isn't turning on.
