1993 Volvo 940T wagon bulb monitor lights up only when on the brake and all three bulbs are new and all contacts have been cleaned and tabs bent for tighter contact and still the same

Make sure all bulbs match in wattage, manufacturer and condition.
Also ensure the connections in the bulb circuit harness connector are clean.
Those bulb monitor sensors are a special kind of relay. It can detect one bulb out. If two bulbs fail, you wouldn't get a warning. Sometimes I find dirty connections at the base of the sensor itself and cleaning those fixes it. The entire affair is installed into a red cylindrical shaped canister in the electrical center. These sensors are very sensitive to resistance differentials. I've gone through this many times with these sensors and the only real way to fix the issue (provided the sensor isn't faulty) is to change every bulb including the third brake light all at the same time, clean every ground and connection point, reinstall the ground tabs back to the body and meter each component out with a decent high-impedance ohmmegger if needed. It's a pain, and sometimes I end up just removing the indicator from the dash cluster and simply inspect each week. They are known to be overly sensitive especially when aftermarket radios and trailer wiring are installed. Note on trailer wiring: always install that into a separate branch circuit, preferably bypassing the unit as it could become damaged and then your headlights will stop working as well. Good luck and keep me posted should you need more help.
