The "STOP LAMP" warning light usually goes off when I hit the brakes while the car is running, but it doesn't do it all the time. Some times it flickers dimly while I'm at a stop or at idle, but at higher RPM it glows brightly. The thing is, all of my exterior lights seem to be working fine. Is there a common weak point in the system I should check or do I have to just go through the entire wiring system? Even though it says "STOP LAMP", does it also check continuity of the entire light system or is it for brake lights only?

 

Brake lights only man... You can check the others by yourself.

Pop the bulbs out and check the contacts. Probably corroded some or loose.. Also check harnesses...

If all else fails, put a piece of electrical tape over the "Stop Lamp" indicator.

 

Doesn't the warning light come on also when your brake fluid goes low?

 

did you put led bulb on the car. i use to have that problem. i have to swich back to regulars ones.

 

To my knowledge, the bulbs are the standard type... but then I've never actually looked at them since I bought the car last summer. I'll check.

I think the "BRAKE" light is the one that tells you your fluid is low... it's the same light that tells you your parking brake is on.

 

Sounds like a short or a faulty switch.

 

Mine does it too . 1985 GSL...

On mine the Washer light comes on whenever I'm in Neutral, but not any other time... I've got no fluid in there, but shouldn't it be on even if I'm not in neutral? Why should ANY light be on concerning my gears?

Damn dirty people who can't put wires back where they found them whenever they were ******* around with them.

That is strange. Just Bridge closed the Fluid Resevoir sensor under the hood. That way it won't bother you anymore.
