Default lamp out driving me crazy

the lamp out light on my dash keeps turning on and off and beeping the whole time. It's driving me nuts. I looked and dont seem to have any lights out. I wonder if one is flickering on and off everytime I hit a bump or something? any ideas?

Yea, you have one somewhere causing the issue. Only headlights and brake lights are monitored by the Lamp Out circuit. Flashers, turn signals and fogs are not

This happened to me a few weeks ago. Lamp out light was constantly flashing/beeping at me. Checked all of my bulbs and everything was working fine. Did some research and found that it could be the circuit boards that hold the tail light bulbs. I replaced the tail light circuit boards (~$15 each at my local parts store) on each side. Problem solved.

EDIT: Turned out to be my drivers side circuit board. I replaced the other as well to prevent the same thing happening on the passenger side.

I had this problem too. Turned out to be the circuit boards. I ended up just buying new taillights from Ebay with the twist lock bulbs so I wouldn't have any later problems down the road.
