Default light failure when breaking but all lights are OK

Our trusty 96 850 GLT is giving us a weird problem, whenever I break, the "light failure" warning would come on, but we have checked all the lights, and they are all fine. Does anyone know what the problem and solution is? Could it be a sensor? Thanks in advance!!

Make sure all of your bulbs are matching bulbs. Example: Make sure they are all either silver bases or copper bases. If you have one with a silver base and two with a copper base it could do that.

Also check the grounds on all the lights/circuit. Bad grounds can do that too. Good luck.

Did you check high mount light/spoiler lights?
