Bulb light keeps popping up whilst driving

[Pondrew]

Something I’ve found out that nobody has mentioned is the fact that if you scroll through the dashboard menu and click on check data when you get the bulb icon click on it and it gives you the code CC-ID136 in this case it was saying there’s a problem with the rear near side brake light. So I investigated and what do I find………2 wires not connected to one of the brake light bulb holder/ housing . ( you may be aware there are 2 rear brake light bulbs so it seems) so from the outside it isn’t obvious one bulb isn’t working and even when I did a brake light test it appeared to be working ( relying on someone at rear telling me brake lights work ) So there we have , take a look at the fault code on the dash

Everybody on car forums is obsessed with bloody scanners and code readers. They are very useful admittedly, but there is an awful lot you can still find out and do without one.
Although I have finally bought one after 3 years!
