started up my car like any other day, but this time it said that there were two malfunctions. one being the right reverse light is on, and some other light on the right side is on. i check all my lights and they are working correctly. has anyone else had this problem?

its been an issue for some. remove all the bulbs and make sure the connectors havent overheated and melted together making it seem like the bulb is out.

Seems pretty good. I noticed the right rear fog bulb isn't turning on. Switched the bulbs over but still never worked so wasn't the bulb. If I changed the bulb holder assembly, should the malfunction light go off? Hopefully the fog bulb will start working too?

the rear fog light is never used so it doesn't really matter if it works or not. i just don't like the annoying messages that pop up every time i start the car up. i tried removing the bulbs and repositioning them. but that still never helped. is it a computer problem or the bulb holder problem?

thanks for the replies!

My car does the same thing all the time, it will just throw up a random message saying a light is out and when I check the light it is working fine, then the next day the message is mysteriously gone.
