Another dashboard light

On my brand new 1988 w124, the orange 'broken light' indicator comes on intermittently. The manual says it should come on when a light is activated and one of the bulbs is broken. None of the lights seem to be broken however and I'm not switching anything on or off when it comes on.

Any idea what's the most likely cause of this?

Thanks, X.

I had the same problem a while back. It ended up being a front running light. I just replaced all the runing lights, and it was happy.

I had this problem...so I fiddled around with the tail lights. Still not fixed. Then about 2 weeks later it healed itself. Go figure.

It happens when an electrical contact is borderline bad. It becomes intermittent and it cures itself when the weather is hot or cold... who knows.

I think I found the culprit. A small lamp in one of the from headlight units was a bit loose. I fixed it so I guess it'll be alright from now on.

Thanks!
