Hi, I did cut the wire from Dash to junction box, and the light dissapered,
I have removed the dash, an checked all diodes, and checked all light bulb's and everything seems to be working.

But, if the bulb check relay is broken and acts like ground, will not more lights be lit ?

If the bulb turned off when wire cut, no need to investigate further then from the point the wire is cut the wire and a alocation further down the wiring which is grounded or shorted to ground via another wire.

When i measure the Ohm from behind the dash and to the pulg at the E-brake. it says 0,09 ohm and the same is for, behind the dash and to the pulg at the brake fluid sensor plug.

When i measure from behind dash to ground, i get 1,9M Ohm, but that to high. he current will be 0,0000063A

This drives me crazy, i tryed to leave it disconnected for a while, when i was driving around town to see if it came on, with no connection to the rest of the system. and it didn't come back on. (So dash is fine)

So the fail is in the car wiring. and everything seems to be fine...

Next clue please ?
