Rear Light Check Warning

[brickie]

Hi, i have a X5 D Sport on a 53 plate, keep getting the check rear brake/tail light warning coming on, but the lights are fine.

Anybody know if there is a sensor or what the problem is ?.

Thanks Brickie

Welcome to our community buddy,

As Mr.Dave said, we welcome introductions in this thread but there is a designated X5 section full of X5 nuts who can help you.

First thing that I would be doing is removing all the rear bulbs and checking that the connectors are not corroded. If there is any nasty green flaky stuff on the contacts, use a bit of Carb-cleaner and a flat head to remove. If this does not solve, it may be the bulb assembly panel that is faulty. Here is a guide I found for you to check it out yourself:
