self test cluster brake lamp is dead.(went off)
first i must learn if brake lamp is ABS lamp.
as I can not see the dead actual lamp here blind.
yes one is labeled ABS and one is labeled
BRAKE
the users guide states
"Also quote
illuminates if the parking brake is engaged. If brake
warning lamp does not illuminate at these times,
seek service immediately. Illumination after releasing
the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and
the brake system should be inspected immediately.
so why would self test fail??
well check all FUSES FIRST? skip none,
the only confusion with clusters is evolution! 3 generations if it.
new cars the cluster is all electronic,and all actions are from the CPU in the cluster and the CAN-BUS network data to it.
so we use OBD2 scan tool at the OBD2 port.
BUT ? then older cars for sure 2000 year.
are 1/2 and digital and 1/2 wired analog devices.
for sure error lamps (warn) to oil sender or to hand brake or to the brake fluid low switch.
the lamps on the rear twist out. why not just swap 2 lamps side to side, to prove it good or buy new lamp.
some lamps (gee 23 years) old can be for sure intermittent. (micro cracks in the tungsten element happens easy for sure car bouncing,(for 100 years)
or some one put in
WRONG LED LAMPS here.
or lamp in socket was twisted and bulb wrecked.
or windshield crack allowed water to hit cluster
and socks there, are rusty (corrosion) seen this vast times or PCB board in side again micro-cracks in solder joints. for same reasons, vibration driving.
looking at your cluster for sale (googled)
this cluster is 1/2 digital and analog
2 huge connectors and lots of wires. 8 pin and 16pin?
i will find a schematic later for this cluster.
to see what is there.
the link above will take you (paid) to the SM
and chapter on electrics + cluster,= BINGO
good lock finding cause.
use a new lamp or do swaps side to side from lamps working now. is best.
look at lamp socket for corrosion.
