Tail-light warning light

[gp02a]

is there any diagram or picture (will be even better) to show where to replace new wire and solder?

there isn't because it's not always the same solder that breaks..

just flip it over and see where the solder has broken, usually it's also slightly burnt, so it should be easy..

Okay, so if everything if all the lights are working fine, what causes the light in the dash to turn on? Wouldnt a fauly box make the lights not work properly?

I get his line once in a while, out of nowhere it will turn on, but its something that happens randomly.

Sometimes it'll give false readings, when all light are functional, or the opposite, when there are no lights on the dash, but you have no taillights....

well... just took the sensor out and seems like it's clean... maybe my brake light bulb really failed....

coz my dashboard light is on once I press the brake pedal....

fyi.. my senor box is red/orange... and I had a 87 turbo manual.... see image below for reference.....

Did you check your bulbs before pointing at the sensor? second there is some GFS on the terminals, and finally do you have a wing mounted brake light that is not LED? Looking at you numbers on the box it seems to be that way. "12v 27Wx4, 18Wx1, 8 Wx4" seems like it tells you right on the box that bulbs it looks at for going out

orange..?!?

Never seen that one before!!

Now we have Ivory, yellow, red, blue, and now orange..:biglaugh:


your plug looks to have a lot of weird corrosion, clean that off, it might be affecting the contacts, hopefully it'll solve your problem..
