I 'upgraded' to a 2004 R in December. Great car, but for one irritating fault. 'Check Rear Lights' keeps appearing at various intervals from the day I got it. All rear lights are working fine. The dealer suggested I change the bulbs. I did and cleaned all accessible contacts, but the warning persists. It disappears once ignition is turned off. I have disconnected the battery to try and erase the memory, but no good.I suppose I could live with it, but why should I ? Anyone with any ideas ?

I would guess it's the brake lights that trigger the warning being used most and that it happens in daylight. My car has cc and the off-switch for that would be near the brake pedal ? Maybe it needs a good dose of electrical contact cleaner sprayed on ?
