Pictogram

Hi all again

The pictogram on my car has come on for a while now indicating that the rear lights have gone.
but after checking all the rear lights on the car, they all seem to be working????
Is there something else that I am noy aware of,
or is it just a faulty connection.
Can anyone help as the pictogram now is getting quite annoying!

Thanks in advance

There was a thread about this a couple of weeks ago, if I remeber correctly, one of the answers was to check that the lamps were the correct wattage as an imbalance can cause the pict to show up.

I agree with TheFox - there are 4 sidelight bulbs,they are hard to see individually. The light will come on if one bulb has blown.

And the number of people who swear the pictogram must be broken as they can see the rear lights are lit....

this can also seem to happen when bulbs get tired. I know it seems weird, but if the above info doesn't help, try changing the brake light bulbs( all of them ) for new ones and the problem should go

And just to be sure, make them all from the same manufacturer. It is current imbalance that lights the pictogram so your best chance of curing the problem is to fit bulbs that are as closely-matched as possible.

Thanks All

Problem solved.
You were right there are two side light bulbs on each corner, which on a quick glance or for an amature like myself not knowing there were two, and just seeing the lights on DDeeRR!!

Great to have such a knowledgeable lot of SaabTekkies on the forum
