brake lights Sign In

I have a 93 Toyota Camry 1 brake light was out and I was trying to fix it when I had a problem. The old bulb was stuck and when I removed it with pliers I had a spark and now only the third brake light works. I checked the fuse and its still ok but still no main brake light.

here is a schematic, it looks like the light failure sensor has a diode that may have been damaged, but the way the schematic looks if this system has power to the third brake light then the rest should also be powered up, with out going to the light failure sensor and measuring voltage before and after it is hard to say the exact cause. The Motor All data does not give locations for eaach connector to try to measure up stream at each point to find the source and the schematic does not idicate and issue with a possible seconjd fuse other than the gauge fuse for the brake light warning at the IPC itself .

Hmmm? Check with a test light that fuse for this is in fact empowered. It would normally be the weak link but perhaps wiring at the socket was that feeds both. The "short" from using the pliers may have opened a weak connection in wiring at that socket or if no power get to wire to that socket it may come from the other side,
