Brake light bulb

[paulguitar]

I'm having a slightly weird situation at present. I'm getting a dash warning that my right-hand brake light is out, but it comes and goes. The warning will be on for a day or two and then all is well again for a day or two. It seems to me that it is either out or not out, so not sure what to do!


Any ideas, anyone?

I suspect water or condensation in the light.

Ah, okay. Any idea how to solve it?

You might first of all want to post what vehicle, and what the year of registration is...

May actually be the bulb incorrectly fitted, wrong wattage.

It's a 2005 987 Boxster.

Open the boot, undo the light fitting board.one lug to squeeze, have a looksee. Is the wiring loose? Corroded? Broken? Water in the light fitting? Bulb not seated correctly? Begin at the beginning.
