I may be crazy but I highly doubt that the techs did anything to your brake lights and/or wires. You might want to check the fuze since the third light is on a different one. Then again, I could be wrong.

 

I just had my front rotors and pads replaced a week ago. However my next door neighbour was flollowing me home today and told me that only my centre brake light was working. Do you think they forgot to reconnect a wire

Replacing the pads or rotors shouldn't affect the brake light wires - if the centre light is working, the switch must be good - I would check the fuses...

 

Could be just burn out brake light bulbs on both side. Check them first.

 

Just change the bulbs. Pop out the two caps coverring the screws and the remove the screws. The light assembly comes right off the body.

You're correct. Both bulbs were burnt out. They were'nt that hard to replace. Thanks

 

There are two bulbs in the center brake light??? I did not know that! Learn something new every day!

Crap. So, they took that light and used it for the washer fluid level indicator I suppose.

yep, us models don't have it, even the touring models...which stated in that manuals that they did but didn't

 

The Canadian models have a larger windshield washer reservoir.

 

Canadians also have accessories such as: heated steering wheel and pedals, a dogsled roofrack and a polar bear alarm. Heh heh, little Canuck humour.

Run! The polar bears are back!!!! http://www.filmstreet.co.uk/uploads/images/EARTH_Polar_Bear_700.jpg

Why would they only do it to the canada model and why only a low washer light for the canada model too?

I guess they figure its colder there and it is important to have clean windshield ? Any how Toyota had "cold spec" on some models, mainly for cars that go to northern states...larger washer tanks..stronger battery (CCA)

I don't know, I did not build em but it might have to do with CA law. I wish the US models had it.

If I ever have replace the windshield washer fluid reservoir , I'll get the CA part to get the extra capacity.

 

this is weird.. both of my brake lights went out at the same time.. i think its just weird that they both die at the same time was originally thinking that it was a fuse but i cant even find the fuse that controls the brake lights, but will check the bulbs tomorrow. I usually find that one light will burn out before the other.. not at the same time.

btw.. does anyone know the bulb size for the brake lights.. 2005 model??

That's odd both out at the exactly same time. Any incidence of bad luck recently? May be related to some other origin like a switch instead of burnt bulbs to affect both simultaneously.

 

ya i know its odd.. the originator of this thread had the same thing happen to him, both brake lights out.. anyhow had the bulbs changed and working fine now! really bad a luxury minivan does not have a indicator to let u know the bulbs are burnt, thank god someone driving behind me told me about it.

 

Anyone try installing a higher wattage or halogen bulb in the center high mounted brake light?
I noticed that this light is not very bright.

If so, any recommendations?

 

i have changed it to an led.
on thing i noticed is that the bulb is angled so when you look at it from some angles it doesn't completely light up.
