I have a 2001 Sienna and have had to replace most of my tail light bulbs.

The bulbs that are mounted in the fender (wrap arounds) have acess panels in the van's interior that easily pop out and expose the back of the light assembly.

However, the bulbs that are found in the lift gate are a different matter. You have to remove the whole interior panel to the lift gate to expose the light assemblies. Go to your auto parts store and get a tool to help pop out the plastic retainers from the lift gates metal frame. Don't force the retainers out. Go slowly and gently so that you don't damage the interior panel. If you are really gentle you might even get to reuse the retainers.

Good luck!

2005 Toyota Sienna rear brake lights not working. Rear Center light works fine. I have replaced the bulbs and checked fuses. Continuity is good. all other rear lights work fine. What is the problem?

I am wondering if you have a bad ground wire.
Each tail light/brake light had a separate ground wire, that is supposed to be hooked to the ground somewhere.
If it is bad, those lights will not work.
Your center light probably has a separate ground wire.
If you take an electrical meter, test the bulbs with a meter, then stick the meter's contacts inside the socket and press the brake pedal and see if the meter shows "juice".
Often a car wreck/fender bender can break or compromise the ground wire of which I spoke.
God bless your efforts.

2001 toyota sienna changed drive shaft & ABS lights on now

Sounds like the ABS sensor is not hooked up.
The sensor is behind the brake rotor attached to the spindle where the axle shaft sticks thru.
You might want to have the computer scanned for codes to make sure the light is on for the same wheel the axle was removed from.

Check your brake light fuse, also make sure you installed the bulb in the right way, if not in the right way will blow a fuse and will also not let you shift gear's due to blown fuse.

2003 Toyota Sienna - Need to replace left rear brake light

Hi -
I just replaced my left rear brake light on my 2005 Sienna. I followed the manual directions and removed the two metal bolts from the tail light cover. However the assembly did not come off. I could open it a little and it appeared to be bolted from the inside. I looked online but didn't find an answer. I had already gotten pulled over and I didn't want to go to the dealer so I pulled on the assembly a little harder applying even pressure to the top and the bottom and it popped loose. I didn't yank it. There are two metal pegs that have a little lip on them and thats where you are getting the resistance. Hope this helps.

Tail light

Hi Melony63k,
Open the rear door and look at the back corner of the body where you see under the carpet some eight mm nuts...take those out and the cluster will come off...you can then replace the bulbs....
