[V6-12v] bulb warning light

[Lt.Kubosh]

I had similar problem with random Brake light failure message. It was caused
by bad connection on one of the instrument cluster connectors.
It is on the Elliott's pages.

 IT is the procedure #2. That black connector reads the data for AutoCheck
System, so one of the pins is most probably Light Failure data.

First off, I have a '94 100 S.

Since the weather has gotten warm, I have been getting the bulb failure
warning light
(http://jason.pearce.net/images/chronicle/audiwarnings/bulbfailure.gif)
from my autocheck system at random intervals.  I've replaced *all*
external bulbs in one sitting and am still getting the alarm, and the only
commonality I can identify is that the car is hot inside (and out).  (I'm
in Dallas, so it gets a *bit* hot here in the summer :-)  I've seen some
posts on the net on how to disable the autocheck for the bulbs but, not
wanting to do this, hoped that someone else had finally come across a real
solution to this.  (None of the threads I have seen on various sites ever
have a solution, even though there appeared to be a handful of people with
the same issue...)

Also, I'm getting ready to pull my instrument cluster this weekend for
full bulb replacement (I have about 4-5 burned out) and will also fix the
temperature gauge light.  I wondered while I have it apart if there is
something back there that I can look at that may solve the bulb alarm
problem?  (The 12v.org site has a procedure for checking and fixing bad
solder joints that looks promising.)

Anyone BTDT and can save me from going *insane* by the random and
incessant beeping from my dash???

TIA  -Joe
