If the brake light indicator is on in the dash and none of the brake light light but, then check 1st the bulbs, 2nd the Check Fuses at drivers right foot, if the fuse is good as was my case now you have to think.
Oh 3rd, "Toyota Light Failure Switch" located in the trunk under the antenna (mine is yellow) should be a box about the size of a tape-measure. Re-move it, by de-pressing top 'button' and sliding toward outside of trunk/car (can be a pain!)
See page 16 in:
http://www.camrystuff.com/manuals/Gen2/90_EWD.pdf
This shows there the "Light Fail Sensor" is located.
If this switch is our trouble you can make the BREAK LIGHTS work by shorting the green-white and the green-red wires together. ( I used a paper clip jammed into the connector.)
The indicator light will still be on but the break lights will work!!!
This switch should have been RECALLED the safety device they built keep your break lights on, fails and takes out ALL the brake lights!! But other then that the Camry is great!
Oh, #4 if the brake lights don't work but the indicator is on check the switch on the brake petal.
#5 Well if anyone can think of a #5 to check please add it.

Where is the brake light switch in a 1988 740 Volvo?
Look under the dash on the driver's side, half way down the brake pedal. When you depress the brake pedal, the pedal moves away from this switch, which allows the brake light pedal circuit to complete, and your brake lights come on. This brake light switch is always hot/on, as required by federal law, so that even with no key in the ignition, if you hit your brake pedal, the brake lights will come on.
