You're very smart. I have a 96 camry. I love it. It will survive the apocalypse, it's these little things that's suck on it but it's so easy to replace almost everything on it and youtube saves me so much money.
Thank you for your help. I did replace the driver tail light and had the failure for months, after installing a new aftermarket light. The yellow light in the dash was permanently on. Last Wednesday I went to a junk yard store and I did purchase a used tail light hardness from an old Camry. It didn't work. I did plugged and unplugged many times. Nothing. The yellow light still there, permanent. Tonight, I did watch your video again. I went to my car at 11pm. I did turn the lights on more than once. Then, I did turn the lights off, with the car on. Then I did turn the car on, WITH THE LIGHTS OFF, VOILA, THE YELLOW LIGHT TURNS OFF. Then, I did turn the lights on and the yellow light keep off. Then I did press the brake, the yellow light came on, when I did released the break, the yellow light went off. The failure was corrected. Still it fails sometimes when I press the brake, but it is not permanent. Thank you for your great help. Mech. Engineer.
Everything you explained happened to me. The previous owner did have an accident and the left rear got touched. The indicator still works but dashboard shows everytime this warning when i press the brake. I still have the original socket. I will fix it. I think it might be the brake lights or the sensor.
Ok, so you had damage on the rear light that promoted the sensor to light up. But what if you know all your lights are functioning but the sensor light still lights up. How do you correct that?
There's a small moduel box usually (yellow) behind the carpet of the driverside trunk area. That may have malfunctioned. Start there. Hopefully that works. Cheers
i think that it does notice a difference in resistance because ever since i put l.e.d. lights for my break lights my indicator light has been on from start up without touching yhe break pedal.
Aaron Randolph make sure that the parking lamp is making contact with the base. the module doesn't realize any resistance unless there's no contact. I have all led bulbs now and they're fine. the newer camry models will have the need to use Non error led bulbs though. but these older models don't. hope that helps.
so, on a 2001 Lexus RX300, On Toyota with Lexus being the expensive models, I have replaced the Bulbs, checked the fuses, replaced the fuses just to be safe, and the brake lights still don't work, I have Voltage to the Light failure sensor but no light on the dash and no brake lights still, and Im not paying 551 bucks for a light failure sensor, as most vehicles don't have nor need a Failure sensor would it be best to bypass this sensor as it is prone to failure as I have read on most toyota and Lexus forums
You can bypass the sensor. I did that to my old Honda. Check to see if your brake pedal switch is broken. That can be the issue as well. Make sure there's power going thru when you press the brake pedal. It's like a momentary push button switch just above the brake pedal
96 camery right break light out but back up lights work (same bulb I believe) Replaced the bulb it was good but changed any way. Indicator light in dash off, then on when pressing brake pedal. If I'm understanding correctly it's most likely a wire or connection problem not the yellow box or relay... Going to take a look at wiring especially around trunk hinge and connector to light socket
Hi, can you tell me why my brake lights won't go off? There's nothing indicating it on the dash. I tried pulling up on the brake pedal but they didn't turn off. Thanks
Mines been really, really strange. 97, that light would come on , I would flick my lights on and back off bam gone. (Also when it would come on; no bulb would be off etc. I would pull over and check sometimes before flicking the lights always at random too...) Now I’m figuring out now I am going to have to go look at grounds and all because my back lights won’t turn off at all. The brake lights are good to go they come on with the pedal as expected. My back lights themselves with the switch somewhere is no bueno
My 97 avalon v6 car has zero brake lights running nor pressed brske pedal .... j checked for power at the brake light switch .... its tgere & indicates the pedal being depressed ..... could this unit be my problem ?
I have a 1996 Toyota Camry and the Brake light indicator is always on. I got the original bulbs and sockets from the Dealer but it remains on. Without even stepping on the brake. Is there a way to turn that Light off? It's bugging me.
Check to see if the trunk lever cut some wires out because the module is behind that area on the driver side. Otherwise, there's no other way unless you remove the bulb from the dash. Hope that helps. Cheers.
Thank you for the video. However, I’d like to let everyone know that when I went to diagnose my solid orange brake lamp failure light on my 2000 Camry, it turned off by just lightly shaking the wires back and forth in and around my brake/tail light. It’s not a fix, as I may have a bad wire, but it got rid of the annoying light. I’ll let you know if it comes back.
Hi. I need help. My Toyota Camry rear light failure on the dashboard only comes on when I turn the steering wheel night light. How much will this cost to get repaired?
Don't about it, I went to a mechanic. He explained to me what it is and what need to repair. This was the first time trying online service. Thank you for your response,s that says volumes about your business, that you are willing to help your consumers.
I have a 2000 Toyota Camry. Both my tail and rear lights are on. They work perfectly. However when I press on the brakes, the warning lamp appears. When I take my foot off the brakes, it goes away. Goes away, comes back, goes away, comes back and so forth.

I knew there was someone that had this same issue as me. Glad this helped you. Cheers.

@@PeterZafra dash light doesn't come on nor ever came on
@@PeterZafra there is power getting to the sensor just not operating the lights
thanks
also...
can't think of a less fun time ...license plate bulbs buried behind trunk liner
96 camery right break light out but back up lights work (same bulb I believe)
Replaced the bulb it was good but changed any way.
Indicator light in dash off, then on when pressing brake pedal.
If I'm understanding correctly it's most likely a wire or connection problem not the yellow box or relay...
Going to take a look at wiring especially around trunk hinge and connector to light socket
Yes. Double check connections on the bulb. Cheers
Will check that first hopefully it's an easy fix, thank you Again
It was the ground wire, it popped out and I simply put it between bulb and casing, will replace socket.
Thankfully a simple fix.
Thanks for helping
Thanks my problem is when I start the car it’s already on, this helped me a lot
I have the same problem brother thank you very much, I hope I can fix it .
You will get it done bro. Let me know how it works out. Cheers
I haven try it yet !
I haven’t try yet but I will thank you very much
Hi, can you tell me why my brake lights won't go off? There's nothing indicating it on the dash. I tried pulling up on the brake pedal but they didn't turn off. Thanks
Check your brake switch that the it's not stuck. It's behind the brake pedal

will that little sensor light come on for a head light out? or a turn signal out?
shane michaels only on rear lights. Headlights you can tell. Signal lights will cause speed blinker on dash. Hope that helps. Cheers.
No, your blinker will blink very fast if any are going bad or dead

Did it come back ?
Estimate repair cost if you took it to a mechanic?
I don't know. It's the trouble shooting that they will charge you on the most
Does your camry have a spoiler tail light?
No it's only a CE
Change the corner break lamp because one strong light and then other a little bit
Make it same energy
And the break light on dash gauge will off
Cool
Thanks so much peter for the video!!!!!
Cheers
Hi. I need help. My Toyota Camry rear light failure on the dashboard only comes on when I turn the steering wheel night light. How much will this cost to get repaired?
Bernadine Gray hi. please explain the steering wheel night light. what exactly is that?
Don't about it, I went to a mechanic. He explained to me what it is and what need to repair. This was the first time trying online service. Thank you for your response,s that says volumes about your business, that you are willing to help your consumers.
Could this cause the shifter not to come out of park ?
No, that's the brake light switch or the the brake light switch "Button" on the pedal.
I have a 2000 Toyota Camry. Both my tail and rear lights are on. They work perfectly. However when I press on the brakes, the warning lamp appears. When I take my foot off the brakes, it goes away. Goes away, comes back, goes away, comes back and so forth.
Check break lamp bulbs. Might be out.
@@PeterZafra Everything's on. That's the thing. No problem there. But the warning lamp keeps coming. Ok, gotcha. I'll check the lights.👍🏻
Same issue Jose, did you ever figure out the cause?
@@AiJJC answer yet?
@@urbbs09 Sorry for the late reply. I replaced the light bulb 💡
Thank you for your great video 👍👍👍👍
