I have a yellow warning triangle on the display panel of my F800GS. It is also displaying 'LAMP'. The low beam bulb wasn't working. I have correctly replaced the defective bulb but the display still shows that its defective and the bilb is not working (tried two different bulbs, both brand new) can you help? Is it the fuse? Where is the fuse? Cheers...Derek

Remember that your main lights only work with the motor running. So once you have replaced the globe, start the motor, after which the light should come on. Test all the lights, as the fault can also be an indicator globe that is out.

There are no fuses on your bike. Are you sure that all the bulbs are working?? Check the front parking lamp, is it out??

Check all the lamps on the bike including turn signals etc. If indeed there are no lamps out, then there is some kind of problem with the ZFE which is the module that controls the lamps and other electrical loads on the bike.

Maybe time to check the stored trouble codes with dealer computer or a GS-911 scanner. Your bike is likely still under warranty??

Good Luck!

What does a yellow triangle on my Mitsubishi Outlander Sport mean

A yellow triangle with an exclamation point inside of it on a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport usually indicates a warning or caution message. This warning message may be related to a specific system or component in your vehicle, such as the brakes, transmission, or tire pressure.
To find out more about the specific meaning of the yellow triangle warning, you will need to consult your vehicle's owner's manual or refer to the warning message displayed on the dashboard display. The owner's manual should provide more information about the meaning of the warning and any necessary action you should take.
If the warning is related to a specific system or component, it may be necessary to have the issue addressed by a mechanic or service professional. Ignoring a warning message could potentially lead to further problems or damage to your vehicle.
I hope this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.

What does a yellow triangle on my Mitsubishi Outlander Sport mean

It is really confusing when different people have different explanations for this ?? Sign . I had the same warning sign today flashing on My Mitsubishi Outlander 2016 MY17 and I found conflicting explanations on different online forums which was not satisfactory. I even called local and National Mitsubishi customer services and I was told to bring down the vehicle to the service station and they also said that they don’t know what the ?? signs indicates . Pretty bizarre ! Pertinent to mention here that this warning ?? sign states displaying on the panel this morning when I was driving from home to work and I was running low on ?? as low fuel warning started displaying at the same time . Anyway later in the afternoon I went to refuel my car at a nearest petrol station and topped it up and turned on the ignition and the ?? sign was no more displaying on the panel. I also read that this ?? Sign can displaying indicating low tyre pressure or in my case low fuel pressure . I think there is nothing to be worried about unless the ?? Sign keeps displaying .
Thanks

Low beam headlights not working on 2004 Pontiac Montana extended

You headlight lamp have a diffuser mechanism which allows it to flip between the hight beam and low beam feature of the bulb. In fact, you high beam will function even if the low beam is not working.

I would recommend the purchase of the new headlight lamp. It would cost you you any where from $15.00 per unit to get a replacement lamp
