Electrical Problems (LAMPR)

[sussexarb]

Hi All,

Im new to this so sorry of this has been asked before.

I have a R1200GS 2007 (57 plate) and have had the LAMPR warning come up three times, each time the bulb is in tact and I seem to be able to turn this off by removing and reinstalling the bulb several times. This only seems to affect the brake light side of the bulb.

Has anyone else had this problem and know what is / might be causing it and how to stop this?

Thanks in advance

Matt

Sounds like you need to remove and clean the rear light unit. It's open at the front so all the road crap gets in there..

It's Tapatalk. Get over it.

Try a new bulb. If the tail light fails it will use the stop light filament as a side light (reduced voltage) and put the warning lamp on.

Waht Ted says.

Have you checked the indicators?

Had the same issue with mine, and it was the side light.

It all worked fine, even though the glass was a bit sooty, except it would go out, giving LAMPF.
Stop ant switch back on, and all was good, till the next time it happened.

swapped the bulb and the problem went away

Maybe you have the same sort of problem, but on the back.

I have the same problem on my 2007 1200. It's a faulty contact between the bulb and the little strip of metal it touches to make the connection. I take out the bulb and put a bit of wire in, pulling the metal strip towards me, trying to bend it. This is only a temporary fix, however. I'd be interested to read how you fix it permanently.

The rear light lenses are right in crud central and have a habit of rotting away. I suspect the connections are about goosed so take the light assembly off and have a good look. If you can clean it up, great but if not, a second hand one from Motoworks is the way forward

I've had 2 on mine in 7 years but it has been through the ringer a few times

As a maccy, I've noticed a problem with these bulbs - the filament sometimes breaks gradually enough to create an intermittent open circuit inside the bulb.
Try removing the bulb, and tapping the metal pressing quite hard against a solid surface a few times. If the bulb filament(s) are duff, this will give enough of a shock to permanently dislodge the offending filament and make the problem visible. From there, you have isolated the problem and are justified in replacing the bulb with a new one.

Change the bulb and make sure the light unit is clean everywhere it should be.
