    Unhappy tail/brake light bulb failure

    hi everyone

    My calais has just presented me with yet another problem, whats happening is the little bulb thats on the dash which is the tail/brake light bulb failure is coming on momentarily when i take my foot off the brake pedal? but it's only doing it when the headlights are on? now according to the owners handbook...... If the symbol is illuminated while the park/head lights are on,then a bulb failure of the tail lights is indicated.

    But i have checked all lights and all are working fine? would anybody be able to shed some light on this pls? Also dont know if it has anything to do with it but it only started doing this after i changed the fuel pump?
