sigtauenus Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 2000 RX 300 I had water damage to the car that came in through the brake light housings. Details here... http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=60116 I am getting a brake caution light (the yellow one that says a brake light bulb is burned out) on the dash but as far as I can tell all 4 bulbs are fine. The light does not come on when the car is first started, but comes on as soon as you push on the brake pedal to shift the transmission. On at least one occasion I pushed the pedal (op check) 3 or 4 times before the light came on. Most times it comes on right away when pushing the brake pedal the first time after starting the car. Is there a sensor or a part of the wiring harness that may have been damaged by the water, or is there anything else I can troubleshoot to get the light on the dash to go out? Is it possible that this is a coincidence, and if so, is there anything else I can look at with the brake lights? Gut feeling is that this is directly related to the water problem.

You need to check the center mounted brake light on the hatch.
sigtauenus Posted September 17, 2009 Author Posted September 17, 2009 Thanks Mikey, that was it. Totally did not even think to look up when I was checking the lights.
