SOURCE: brake lights stay on 1991 Lexus LS 400

Simple fix... Just replace the brake light switch. It is located on the brake pedal arm about 6 inches above the pedal, it will have a plug going to it as well.

SOURCE: 92 lexus ls 400. Tail lights will not turn on.

check power to your rear tailight bulbs positive to see if they even get power with the headlight switch on. if your headlights come on then it's probably not a switch issue. Just check and make sure that you have power and ground to your tailights. It sounds most likely like an electrical problem. The best way to find the problem is to get an electrical wiring diagram and go through the system. But definately first check power and ground at the tailight bulbs to start.

SOURCE: replacing tail light bulb in a 1999 Lexus LS 400

Replacing a bulb on a Lexus is rather easy but a little involve. You can actually locate the wiring harness by removing the trim panels within your trunk. There are typically two cargo hooks that screw out found on either side of the trunk opening. Also, there are Christmas tree push pins found on the trim panels located on the the trunk sides and the upper part of the trunk.
Furthermore, there is a plastic trim panel along the inside front of the trunk that may need to be removed. Bottom line, remove as much as you need to in order to gain access to the tail light wiring harness.

All that is next is to find the appropriate light socket that holds the light that needs to be replaced. Carefully twist the light socket to the left and pull the light out of taillight. Then pull the light out of the socket and place the light back into the appropriate hole and twist to the right about a 1/2 to lock the socket in place.

Then, replace the trim panels, push pins and screws.

In most cases, you will only need to pull the trim panels back far enough to reach you hand in to replace the light.

SOURCE: Fuse Box ( cover) diagram for a 95 Lexus LS 400 is missing.

check the wiring harness beside the hinge that moves when you close the trunk.i have seen the wiring get pinched and the ground gets broken. the tail lights have separate left and right side fuses.get a test light,and with the ignition in the on position,there should be power on both sides of all the fuses.the atc type have little test pins on them.ground the test light and put the tip on the fuse.if there is power,the light will come on. if a fuse does not light up the light on both sides,it is open.since the fuses are see thru,it is apparent if it is blown as the metal inside will be burnt.

I have a 1990 Lexus LS 400 and the middle rear tail lights are not working but they do work when I press on the brakes. I checked the fuse box by the driver seat and all fuses looked good. What do you guys...

the bulb for the back light and brake is in a single bulb so if one is bad the other will keep working take out the bulb and see it in day light you will see one of the springs in the bulb is broken replace this bulb

Tail lights do not work on a 2000 lexus rx 300 bulbs are fine, all other lights work fine

You may have a fried fuse. Look in your owners manual to find out which fuse it is in the fuse box diagram. If that is the problem make sure to use the same amperage fuse to replace the burned one with. I fried fuse is usually a sign that you have a short somewhere. But they can also fry for other reasons such as excess moisture somewhere. Sometimes they just burn from age and fatigue. It may solve it to just replace the fuse, but if there really is a short, the new fuse will fry too.

What is the procedure to change a burned out break light on my 1997 lexus LS 400?

Look in the trunk for the plastic access panels. Remove the side that has the burnt out bulb. Locate the bulb holder that holds the burnt out bulb. Grasp it in one hand and turn it counter clockwise until it becomes loose enough to remove it. Once you have it out, remove the bad bulb and insert the new one. You will have to push in on the bulb and turn it a little counter clockwise to get it lined up to slide out. Assembly is the reverse of what you just did.

How to access the tail light above the trunk? I

you must slide the entire high mount brake lamp unit to the left( pass side) and lift straight up. unplug the wire and remove the unit, it will be easier to change the bulb this way. make sure you use the correct bulb or the warning lamp will not go out.
