Your 1999 Honda brake lamp indicator light comes on intermittently even though the lamps are not burned out - Is this an electrical problem?

There is a sensor in the cap of the brake fluid reservoir. The sensor may be going bad. The intermittent problem most likely occurs in colder weather with rain or high humidity. Replace the cap for about $23 from a dealer. Be sure, before doing any repair, that the fluid level is not just low. I have a 92 Honda Accord that had a similar problem. The car uses a passive system to monitor the condition of the lamp filaments. When it sees any increase in resistance, it turns on the warning indicators. Your brake lights continue to function normally. Typically seen during wet and humid weather. Turns out that the contacts on the brake lamp holder has built up a film of resistance and the lamp does not make good contact. Put on a drop of solder on the two contacts of the lamp and assemble back together. Should work.

What could be the problem if its not the front parking bulb on Mercedes c180?
If you are getting an indicator of a burned out light, but don't see a burned out light, it must be a turn signal light. On a Mercedes, you'll actually get a "burned out light" indicator if the turn signal is not working.

Possibly both of them are burned out (common). You were running on only one for a while and then that one burned out. The indicator would still be lit.

that means you have MORE than one bulb burned out. The the light indicator does not tell how many and what bulbs are burned out. It stays on until all the burned out bulbs are replaced.

When the dash lights dim on the Nissan Pulsar SS 99 with the use of the turn signal, it is usually an indication of a bulb burned out in the turn signals. It can also mean that the flasher is bad and taking too much juice.
