Hi,
This happened to me.

Bulbs came from different manufacturers (suchas GE, Stnaley Osram). So I went to Autozone, and bought 2 brand new bulbs by Osram. Then the bulb failure computer will not read that as a difference.

Remember this computer is very sensitive, any difference in resistance will be read as bulb failure.

Ever since I put in 2 new Osram bulbs (OEM), no more problems.

Good luck!

I guess I forgot to mention that both brake lights actually work.
