Hello All,

Probably the last recommendation was the most apropo:

"so as a recommendation, check your work"

I checked grounds first per John, but that didn't solve the prob. Next, I swapped bulb and bulb holders from my other 93 sedan and that made all the difference.

Turns out that the bulb holder was the culprit. We had new and same make bulbs in the bulb holder but that didn't turn the bulb out indicator off, Fooling me was the fact that the taillights worked perfectly, but prob enough difference in resistance existed at the connection either with the bulb to bulb holder, or bulb holder to the circuit board which caused the activation of the bulb out sensor.

So.....if your bulb out sensor is on I suppose the protocol would be install new bulbs first. Then clean up the bulb holder, then check the sensor relay.

Thanks to Art, there's now archived some nifty troubleshooting pics.

Again, thanks to all that responded.

Marty
