Check Rear Brake Light

[TorontoLS]

I have a 2000 LS-8 and get this message on my dash: Check rear brake light. I can't seem to find my owner's manual (normally in my glovebox but I removed it prior to my last detailing!).

Of course, my left rear brake light is working fine. Any ideas on how to reset the message center? Thanks in advance.

the only way i know to reset it is when it appears click the reset button. What about your right brake light is it working fine.

Both brake lights are working fine. When I hit reset, it works until I re-start the car and get this same message again.

I'm still looking for my owner's manual but I think the ex tossed it out.

i've looked through my owners manual and there is NOTHING in there that is going to help us out on this one.

Sorry

Well your running lights may be working but are you sure your brake lights are working? They are a dual filament bulb, if the brake filament is gone the light will appear to work but when you press the brake pedal the light will go out.

I had my girlfriend check it the first time--maybe I'll allow her to get behind the wheel and actually depress the brake pedal this time, while I check it. Am I a little paranoid about anyone driving my car?!

Be sure to check your 3rd brake light too.
