replace the burnt out bulb
There are two screws attaching the assembly. The first is at the top just inside the corner edge of the hood area. The other one is located between the gap of the parking lamp and the turn signal. Use a screwdriver with a slender shaft.
As in all electronics heat is the culprit..if a lamp is mounted (let us say at a ceiling in a warehouse the temperature at the ceiling area is always more than the ground level) and this becomes a cause for ballast failures. Voltage spikes and dips are also a reason for ballast failures. The ballast specifications should match with the lamp (undersizing it will also cause failures) eg. using a 32 watt ballst for a 40 watt lamp. Cheers. Chaterpilar
Something you may not realise is that the brake light bulb is often one bulb with two elements. One of the elements will be for the brake and the other will be for the tail lighting for example so,when tested, the actual bulb will still light up because the second element is unaffected. Make sure that the 'blown' bulb that you are actually changing is not in fact your fog lamp. This will not automatically light up when you test your lights as you have to operate this light separately (similarly to indicator lights). So the fog lamp bulb will appear to be the only one not lit up when you test your lights. Find the bulb with two elements inside and change that one. Sounds obvious (and may be obvious to many) but it's a common mistake. Hope this helps!.
The leg lamp came from the movie "A Christmas Story".
I too would like to know the answer as my 2001 Chevy Impala done the same thing. Tire pressure monitor will not reset through the radio menu. ____ My 02 was doing the same thing. No option in the radio menu. I ended up having to disco the battery for a few seconds to reset the memory. Worked like a charm!
Remove the negative battery terminal (-) for about 15 minutes and most codes will reset.
There is no reset for taillamp failure relay. If there is a fault the message will continue to be displayed www.lextechautomotivellc.com
brake lamp switch failure
it means a brake-lamp bulb has burned out
If it is not a low fluid condition then you will need to pressure bleed it.
The brake light failure sensor on a 1997 Acura 2.2 cl is located on the rear of the car. It is on the back of the left rear lamp assembly.
Which brake lamp are you needing to change? Brake/turn signal lamp.
the 1989 Honda accord lxi has a brake lamp light on the dashboard, if the brake lamp light is on, this means you have a brake/tail light out or disconnected
Code C1287: Brake Lamp Inhibit relay circuit failure. Problem with the warning lamp circuit, or the antilock control unit/module it monitors.
If it still doesn't burn, check the ground of the light assy.
Unplug the baterry, press brake for 20sec, done :)
The brake light failure sensor is located at the back of the left rear lamp assembly behind the trunk liner. It is a square circuit board about 2" x 2" connected by a wire pigtail to the main left rear brake and running lights.
