What an annoying little SOB problem this is! Earlier today I got the "Check Brake Lights" warning come up on the dash and I've just wasted several hours messing about with it and am no nearer a solution. All the bulbs are working perfectly and the brake lights function normally but I still have this message.
After searching the forum I removed the rear clusters to check for any electrical contact problems on the bulb holders and the units themselves. All is perfect, there's no sign of anything untoward, however I rubbed all the contact points with a little wire wool just in case. After refitting the units I switched on and pressed the pedal - "Check Brake Lights" - you freakin' SOB!


Tomorrow I'll probably hook up the laptop and NavCoder and switch the damn brake light bulb check thing off! That'll fix it!
