Parking Lamp Malfunction - Warning -

Hi,
Anyone have a Parking Lamp Malfunction? I have a warning indicator on the dash, but parking lamps are working fine....

I brought my car in for this last week to the dealer, they stated I was due for a software upgrade I asked what the software update was for? I was told "its something to do with ODB communications". I got the car back and 5 days later I have the same issue. Also I have noticed decreased mileage since the software update.

Anyone have a similar issue or advice for me? I have called the dealer and left a msg for my service rep. No call back yet.

mine did the same thing a few months ago and thought it was a blown bulb but after checking they were all good. So I thought i would just have the dealer check it at my next oil change and the light went out on its after about a week. So unsure what it was?

Me too. I had mine stay on long enough and got a new bulb socket. Fixed it for a month, and now its back to every now and again.

Hi sorry to revive and old thread. Did you know the part number or name to search for a new socket for the parking light bulb. Can't find it anywhere. Would be super helpful thanks.
