I've got a warning light that only comes on when i use the brakes. It's the electrical warning light i think( it turned up when the alternator died, and when a tail light was out).

I've checked and replaced the bulbs, brake lights still work.

Any Idea's?

Here is a pic of it.

dude i have had this problem i haven't read what everyone else has said but the light globe in your brake light is having a dodgy connection, obviously the connector on the globe itself has got a bit of rust or somehting, get someone to check which light it is take the globe out and scratch the rust off the entire experience takes all of 5 mins

thanks toffy :)

problem fixed. had a real close look at all the bulbs. one of the filaments was looking dodgey so replaced it. all good.

now if that same one blows again i'll be back. :P

lol i love cefiro owners how we are so worried about little quivels in our cars we seem to be quick to forget that the cars are getting towards 20 years old, we should be thankful they run!

...could you imagine lowrider communities?

"ey es'e! ey holmes my motor has gone bang eh puta, 30000 000 00 000 kms! what do i do?"

    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
