Driver Information Display False Alarm - 92 SSE
I have a 92 SSE with a Driver Information Display and I have a tail light monitor false alarm that won't go away. It had a bad bulb when I bought the car last week and I replaced the bulb but the monitor won't reset.
I just found this forum and I appreciate all the information!
Thanks,
Tumbleweed

I'm betting you have a bad or corroded socket. Get another new bulb, and start swapping it in one at a time. I'm betting it'* one of the little 194'*, so you may want to just pull all the bulbs, clean the sockets, and put the new bulbs in.

Otherwise, if it complains only when you step on the brake, check the two brake lamps at each rear corner of the car. If it complains as soon as you turn on the taillights, check all the bulbs at the back, and also have an assistant step on the brakes _while_ your taillights are on. Let us know what you find.

Problem solved! Fuddyduddy hit the nail on the head. The display said tail light and I did not check the license plate bulbs. Turns out that I had a bad 194 bulb above the license plate.
Thanks guys!!

Hey, I was admiring the rear license plate lighting on mine last night, which is white, and the recess in the bumper that holds the plate bounces light all around the it, so it looks like an entire glowing white frame. Next time I'm out in the garage drinking beer, I'm going to swap in some 194NA (Natural Amber) bulbs and see how that looks...
