Hey Guys,

My '98 S70's rear tail light bulb keeps causing the bulb out indicator to come on. It's the bulb in the top far right position. The contacts look okay, and I've tried new bulbs. The light works for a while,then quits.

Any ideas?

Dave

Use emery paper on all contacts, followed by spraying contact cleaner. Our problem similar to yours has not resurfaced for 18 months after this treatment.

Cheers, Phil

When you replace those bulbs, make sure you do both sides. Bulbs come in packages of two anyway. Put spare brakelight bulbs in the fog light slots for storage.
