the title says it all...i got off work 30mins ago to find out my tail lights are not coming on....i hit the brake and my 3rd brake light comes on aswell as the outter tail lights but the two lights on the trunk are not coming on nore the outter tail lights..could someone give me some kind of direction..i check the fuse that was labeled "tail" in the fuse box in side of the car but that wasnt blown....i had a problem with the bulbs being mismatched and a small icon came on the dash telling me a tail light was a problem but that icon isnt coming on..anyone know if theres a day time running light fuse?but when i hit the brake the outter tails come on but thats it.oh my headlights and fogs work fine..

ok theres no power coming to the trunk lights is there a fuse just for those? if so... why do the outter tails come on when i hit the brake?this is driving me nuts...

I would check the bulbs.

i had a spare set for the two trunk lights still..nothing its wierd because the outter brake lights work when the brake is used but when im not using the brake those two out tails light dont stay on

this maybe a long shot,but try checking the wires for the inner tail lights thats on the trunk arm.it may have gotten pinched.i know some older model Camry's had that problem.

SmoothGS3

everything is still in factory condition no sign of the wires being pinched..the sockets have no kind of grit or any kind of metaled plastic in them

SmoothGS3

is there a tail light relay? if so could that be the cause?

i was doing some reading on the SC forums and there are a few guys that ran into the same problem as me.i found out what could be the problem but i never saw anything in the manuel about Lamp Failure module...Sc owners says its in there trunk...i never seen anything in my GS its suppose to be some kind of brown fuse or something to that extent.going to look more in to this

haha yea, it happens in the RX300's too. you have to replace the lamp failure module.

problem solved it was the Lamp Failure module,it lost pin point i fixed it good to go now...i see why you guys say do some reading on your problem i took heed...thanks all for the input
