I have a 95 supra and my brake lights dont come on when I hit the brake. the tail lights come on with the headlights and the led strip on the hatch lights up with the brake. I've checked all the fuses under the hood and under the dash and have checked the bulb filaments themselves and they look fine on top of the fact that it would be a big coincidence that all 4 brake lights going out at the same time due to the bulbs. anyone had this problem before? maybe there is another place in the car with fuses besides the two I know about? any info?
Thanks Justin.

 

if its anything lke the mkiii, there is a tail light failure switch in the rear, when that goes we have symptoms like that,

ian since the they light up to begin with im willing to bet its the brake light sto switch...

go to your brake pedal and find that switch and make sure its still working...if its nto working that will cause none of your lights to work...

 

well i checked the pedal switch and its working fine cause the led brake light on the hatch lights up when I press the brake. but as for that tail light failure switch in the back, I dont have a clue about it, ive never heard of it. where is it located? can it be replaced easily? just give me some details about it? Thanks

 

Hey Ian you were right. I couldnt find it myself so I took it to toyota and they found that it was that problem. and damn that thing is expensive! $225 just for the switch! not including labor! oh well fXXk it! But Thanks Ian

 

If you've already bought it from Toyota disregard this. If not call Jim at Turbo Toys in Tampa. When mine went out he replaced mine for $75 if I remember right. Numbers in the link at the bottom of my sig.

 

thanks I called him but no one answered so I just left a message. oh buy the way do you have the glass head lights? if so did you get them from turbo toys?

 

holy hell...75 dollar to replace that little box? jesus i want to get into the rip off business too! you can probably source one off SF for like 30-50 bucks and then put it in your self...its not THAT hard

 

ahem 5 months... and your not helping your cause to get one either whore biscuit
