The brake lights on our Toyota Corolla do not work. We have changed the light bulb and all the fuses but it still does not work. The cyclops light works when the brake is pressed, as well as all the other lights including the turn signals. I am out of ideas on what to do. Thanks

It sounds like you have lost power to the system by a blown fuse (stop fuse #15) or the stop light switch stopped working but to be sure please go over these guides to help us see what's going on also I have included the brake light wiring diagrams and fuse locations so you can see how the system works.

I am having this brake lamp relay problem on my 2017 Toyota. I have checked all fuses and relays, and every one of them is good. Has anyone experience same thing?
