so on wednesday i put in my new foglamp bulbs, and now my little warning light in my digidash is saying my rear lights are blown, and they aren't, any ideas on how to fix this?
bump, ok so i did have one light out, and i fixed it, and the sensor is still saying i ahve a rear light out, i took all the lights out of the housings, and tested them and i ahve no blown lights, is my sensor dead?
You must have preempted voltage from a source the rear light sensor used to determine bulb functionality. Undo what you did and the problem may be fixed.

no i cleaned all the connectors, i actaully reconnected a disconnected ground wire. i think its something completly seperate, i think its jsut a concidence

I suppose. However, when you've been working on cars as long as I have, you began to realize there's no such thing as a coincidence......

i found out what the problem is, i installed LED bulbs and the sensor doesnt like them, so i jacked some 1157's from a 240sx we ahve at class that we use for parts, any idea on how to make the sensor liek them, or could i use the silverstar 1157's

The LED bulbs aren't going to work..
The sensor works like this
It measures the voltage coming through the bulb. Your LED light bulbs have resistors in that bring the 12VDC down to something around 3-6. It sees the voltage drop. It says you have a light out..

hehe i figured out a rather simple shortcut to bypass the sensor.....ignore it by cutting the wire that goes to the idiot light...lol the sensor can scream at me all it wants...i won't hear it lol
Linear Mode
