Error Symbol?

delta-9-ginseng · 05-29-2012, 12:08 AM

I am having a hard time finding out what this error symbol means?

Bulb out. Usually a turn signal or something.

Edit: I should specify that this means EXTERIOR bulb out. Also, sometimes this symbol pops up with no apparent cause. You can check and see all your turn signals, exterior bulbs, etc and it looks like nothing is out... but the car has a surprising number of random bulbs. The turn signals, the H3 cornering bulbs, the reverse lights, the rear fog lights/stage 2 brake lights, the courtesy lights, etc could all be the culprit with this symbol IIRC.

1speedbike is correct, one of your bulb is out, good luck finding out which one

or take it to the dealer they can figure it out

Thank you for the info. It is weird though because I sometimes get the error symbol and then I sometimes don't...I guess I will take it to dealer one of these days.

Thanks

Could be a bulb with some corrosion on it or a loose connection. Makes contact sometimes.

It's the really important Christmas ornament symbol.
