Great video! I didn't want to risk taking the dash apart to get easier access on my 2002 Camry because I learned that in a >20 year-old car the less you disturb the better. I had an instrument cluster go dark because the wire bundle insulation had chafed away after 20 years of everyday vibration―and this baby runs smooth! One day it works, the next it's dark. It's like there are parts back there just waiting to fail. For the light switch, I tried to get under the dash from the open door, but since I'm a big guy (6'1" - 250#) it was very difficult. My approach was to remove the driver's seat so that I could lay out and work from under the dash. The seat came out easy, 4 bolts and a wire bundle disconnect. Then I could stretch out and access what I needed without potentially causing other problems. It was still tight, but doable for this old man. I foolishly did not buy the plastic switch pad (green in this video) and of course when I replaced the brake light switch it crumbled. So my advice is to save yourself the hassle and buy it along with the switch. What was I thinking? Murphy's Law.
Thanks a bunch, this video helped me get that piece out. Great explanation and detail. The spring pop was funny, too. Thanks for leaving that in there :)
Was looking for how-to on 06 Tundra lower dash removal for access to replace grommet pad. Nobody has a video on that, but of all vids on Toyota Brake Lught Switches, yours is the BEST! Thanks for clear communication. :-)
Excellent video, thanks for your time. I ordered the grommets from Amazon come in black same piece as the green. However to test the switch itself I has a nickel size magnet to cover the hole. The brake lights stayed on so have to order the switch. Removing the lower dash cover, provides access to the switch, also turning on the motor allows the brake pedal to go further down if the grommet is the only item to replace.
thanks man helped me with my rav4 i almost didn’t get home when i noticed my brake light won’t go off, i can’t seem to find the rubber bushing for it tho at any store online. where do you think i can get a replacement for it? thanks a bunch
My center light works but the the two lower ones do not? The brake switch has four contacts. Thus there are two circuits? Might the switch be the issue? I.e. 9ne circuit for the upper single light and other for the lower two?
If ure trying to install a reverse camera u need to hook up the reverse camera constant power to the reserve light signal. Usually the red wire going to ur reverse light
Not sure if they gave me the correct part. I put it in and the "plug" doesn't pop into the base holder. Not sure if it's supposed to. It rests in it instead. Have to wait for the new battery to check it.
@@LehewTech Was hoping that was the case. If anything, it'll be stuck as an Open switch might have to adjust the nut for brake pressure. I don't know anything about cars!

The pennies idea was brilliant, thank you! Three pennies fixed her right up!
That’s what I’m gonna do for now I’m gonna try it
at 3.12.... use a small tip magic marker to mark the place to have the nut stop...

Thanks to this video. I was able to see that the rubber bushing had broken off and was no longer attached. So I rigged up a piece for it.
YOU SAVED ME JUS KNOW … I had no idea and the bushing fell off in my hand in 4 parts You are the best thanks 😊
This was the best video on how to do the work for a 2005 Toyota Camry. Thanks a ton!
Thanks brother
Excellent video explaining it all in clear video. My problem was the rubber bushing on my 2001 Highlander. Thank you.

All fixed. The Toyo Grommet 2 pack filled both disintegrated pieces on my 05-06 Tundra Ltd 4x4 CC

You solve my situation with this hint video. Thanks man !
Thanks so much for this video, helped me out a bunch on my older Lexus
Back light is stuck on. The green bushing is just a "stopper", not a washer. Yes, mine is gone. Thank you!!!
Thx for the great job explaining the details of the process.
You saved me a lot of grief and money. I just made a spacer and glued it in when original broke apart
DUDE. This is great, liked and subscribed, thank you!
You just fixed my RX330. Thanks,
I’m going to try a penny that’s genius saved me a lot of bs and money 😎🙏💪

Do you know which is the positive wire for brake light trying to install backup camera
If ure trying to install a reverse camera u need to hook up the reverse camera constant power to the reserve light signal. Usually the red wire going to ur reverse light

As long as it doesn't fall out you should be ok
