Tail Light Failure Indicator Allways On DIC
I have checked the lamps for operation and correct part numbers and thay are all good. Is there a way to check the system or disable the indicator?

If the sensor is telling you something other than tail lamp... pull and check all bulbs in the area it'* mentioning. Corrosion etc could trigger it.

Good point, Bill! Even if a lamp base looks clean give it a scrub on some sandpaper or if no sandpaper is available, just scrub it on the cement floor. I've even had brand new bulbs that needed that to make them work right.
