Bulb warning light in dash

[redsurfingmick]

HI. I am new to this forum .
I have a T6 transporter and age dashboard bulb warning light is constantly on. I have checked all lights outside and all are working OK. Has anyone had this problem?
All the lights are standard including the headlights which have halogen bulbs in them
The light on is annoying,and was thinking of removing the warning bulb on the dash , but are unsure if this would create more problems than it would solve .
Any ideas greatly welcome .

Have you checked every bulb, including the numberplate ones?

Hi. I have checked all the bulbs are working including tge number plate lights . I haven't taken them out and checked the connections .

Do you have any LED bulbs in the DRL's ?

What is an 'age dashlight bulb'?
Can you post a pic?
Have you plugged in a Carista or OBD? Without one of those, you might as well not bother having a spanner with these vans.
Battery charge ok?

My guess is age = typo for the.

How long has the warning light been on. In the past I had a bulb failure warning and like you checked round the vehicle and all lights were working. However 4 days later the front offside drl failed and had to be replaced. I thought that possibly the bulb was on its way out and the filament s resistance had changed enough to trigger the failure although the bulb was still illuminated . Hasn’t happened again and don’t know if my theory is correct. Lots more knowledgeable folks on here would know if it was possible reason.

Hi. That is a typo for 'the' .
I have plugged in a OBD reader, but there is no option to cancel the bulb warning light.
Battery is good.
I will check each individual bulb for any issues and replace ones that look old or 'worn' .
Thanks

There are no LED bulbs . Not sure what a DRL's is. Could you explain, thanks

Thanks for the message.
I will check each bulb and see if there are any that look like they are on there way out .
Thanks

Hi. I will check each one individually. Thanks

Also check there isn't any corrosion or moisture. Check the lenses and covers to makes sure there isn't any condensation also. Has the warning light only been on since the cold snap, or when it rained a lot a couple weeks ago?
Just another angle to look at if you can't find anything obvious.

Daytime running lights.....in your front light cluster. Depending which cluster you have ? H4, H7, LED or aftermarket

Any LED interior lights or non VW LED lights anywhere?
