The dash light that indicates a bulb failure has been on for many years now. I have checked each and every bulb many times over the years and everything is good. I suspect the sensor is failing.

My options are:

A. Confirm, find and replace bad sensor ($$$)
B. Bypass the sensor to eliminate the warning feature
C. Rip open the dash and disconnect the warning lamp

Any ideas? I am probably going to opt for plan "B" as it is permanent and the warning feature really isn't something I value.

At each corner is a black box. I snipped the pink with grey wire on each and I no longer have that pita dash light!

This has been a minor thorn in my butt for at least 6 years!!!

Just adding from my experience. Wrong bulbs trigger that yellow light. I have had the same thing happen to me, it was making me nuts. I replaced all bulbs with the right bulbs and it went away. Also, one bulb out in the rear brake mounted light will trigger it as well.

Everything is working great, brakes, fogs everything!...so I conclude it was bad module(s).
It was so nice to drive around today without that dash light !
