Check the fuse for the lights- I'll bet it's blown. If it is, it may be because of a short in the wires or something. If you changed the light switch, whoever did it might have messed the wiring up a little bit and they just need to be taped better or something. You can replace the fuse and see what happens next.
Check brake light switch, probably under dash, on or next to brake pedal lever. If bulbs and switch[es] check out, have helper press pedal, and check for voltage/power at sockets.
Try cleaning the contacts with a wire brush if they appear dirty and then apply a small amount of silicone to the bulb contacts also try replacing the bulb as sometimes they don't appear to be blown but are
Check the light bulbs. Sometimes if you by mistake insert the wrong light bulb, this happens. There are One Filament bulbs (for reverse) and Two Filament bulbs (for brakes and signals). Wrong placement provokes shorts.
Hi my Name is Marcus . I have a 99 toyota corolla and i have problems with the brake lights . I have change the bulbs . I have check my fuses , i have also change the brake pad switch . I was told that i to change the brake switch with a part for Toyota Dealership . Plz help me
Is there power to the bre light switch, a 12 volt test light works gret for this test, they are cgeap and avail at any parts store. If the switch has power in and out when the brake pedal is pressed then the turn signal/multifunction switch is most likely the problem.
I would look for a wiring short in the trunk at the taillamp area, or, inspect the sockets for the taillamp bulbs for corrosion. In any case, you have a short circuit in the trunk area, also check the wire that comes from the body & goes up the trunk hinge on the driver side; that wire may be chafed, and it may be shorting out. Hope this helps; please get back to me if you need any further assistance.
