BRAKE light goes on and off frequently

This 1994 cmary is showing its age although it's still pretty smooth and do= es its job well. The brake light started turning on when driving very frequ= ently. Usually, when I started driving, it was off. I would be on when I sw= itch to 2nd gear or sometimes when I switch it to neutral. Sometimes withou= t a reason, it would be off.=20



This is probably just a display issue (without danger), but I wonder if the= re is an easy fix for this problem?



Thanks,

Have you checked the brake fluid levels?

Hi

Do you mean the BRAKE indicator on the dash panel comes on. ?

I have a 1995 2.2 CAMRY I have it from new. 106.000 miles now.

I had this come on at one time and I pulled up thinking I had a brake problem. Brakes worked ok, Fluid level was fine.

It turned out to be a BRAKE INDICATOR bulb on the rear. That Dash indicator lights up if a brake bulb is Open circuit. I have the CAMRY electrical manual its worth the cash.

You may just have a faulty connection in one of the rear bulb clusters.

In fact in the 16 years I have owned the CAMRY I have had 3 occasions where the near side (UK) bulb has gone open circuit and required to be changed.

Guessing lol

Exactly... I had a brake light too after I changed my brake fluid... panicked a little bit, added a tiny bit more fluid to the brake fluid reservoir, and the light went out.
