Can someone please offer some advice

The Check Control panel is showing a brake light warning although the brake lights are fine.

How can i stop this little shit of a light coming on,or has something gone past it's sell by date?

Any tips much appreachiated guys.

check the resistance on the back lights as this will be the problem it coould be a s simple as a corroded pin .
Simple description
when lamp blow resistance goes sky high tell computer its broke get my drift!!!
if the resistance is high enough to simulate a a busted light it will tell you so easy way to check is to take the tail lights out and just have a general look around.
Because ALL E30's get condensation in the boot.

Ok , tried all of the above,even changed the back panels that hold the bulbs with a spare set to no avail also changed the brake light bulbs

so I'm now looking at the Check control panel

Well bugger me

After following fowlers tips nowt different happend,prior to parking the car up tonight NO check control light

The wonders of WD40

That and a little tap on the suspect lights usually works a treat!

You realise that it only takes a brake light malfunction for a fraction of a second to put the LED on, and for it to stay on until the ignition is turned off?
Problem can also be caused by a faulty or maladjusted brake light switch.
