Mystery warning light

Featured Replies

Hi fellow Yeti drivers,

This isn't actually my first post, but I was unable to log in on my old identity as it is several years since I used it and I couldn't remember the ID and password properly. Never mind.

We are currently on our second Yeti, another 2wd 2.0L TDi and still love them very much. There is a current problem that I would be grateful for suggestions to solve - the yellow warning light for a faulty bulb has illuminated in the dash, but I can't find a single bulb on the car that isn't working. I've checked everything I can think of, including the rear number plate lights. Does anyone have any suggestions where there might be a light I haven't thought of?

Thanks in advance for any ideas, the winner gets an Easter egg (or a picture of one anyway :))

Check the connector contacts from the cabin loom and the pins they go onto on the rear light clusters.

You're looking for corrosion on one or more pins, most likely the earth which will be a brown wire usually.

When the light appears you should get a message on the maxidot telling you which bulb it is.

Often with the rear lights they appear to work to the human eye but the resistance is out of spec so the ECU flags them as faulty.

I had it happen a few times on the old yeti I just changed the bulbs problem sorted.

Many thanks Guys, I will investigate as suggested.

Just a thought - has there been any LED type bulbs fitted recently?
