Sometime ago my right rear taillight started to break up behind the circuit board, where the lower right hand brake light bulb goes. I tried to push it in temporarily and I got a spark when I tested it, then no lights. I found that a relay that controls the lights under the drivers side dash was blown. I replaced it and the taillight assembly with a brand new one.

Now here's my problem:

To this day when I press on the brakes the bulb out indicator comes on the dash. I recently tried replacing both brake/taillight bulbs with Volvo bulbs, with no change to my false indicator problem. What could this be? I mean I can live with it the way it is but I'd prefer to fix it as it is really annoying.
