Nonfunctional Brake Lights

When the fuses, relays, dimmer switch, and the light switches have been changed, and the brake lights STILL fail to work means you "missed" something.

All lighting basics are simple:

  • A battery to supply electrical energy [with a proper ground connection].
  • A "hot "energized" conductor [wire] to carry the electrical power from the battery Positive terminal to the light bulb, and another wire to carry the current back to the battery ground terminal.
  • A switch to turn the power on and off.

When ALL components are good, the most common cause of failure of the brake lights to turn on is usually that the switch controlling the brake light circuit(s) IS NOT PROPERLY ADJUSTED.

What causes a squeaking noise in the steering column of a Toyota celica 1995?

A squeaking noise in the steering column of a 1995 Toyota Celica can be caused by several factors, including worn or dry bushings, a failing steering shaft, or issues with the steering column's plastic components.

What causes white smoke to come from tailpipe of Toyota celica?

White smoke from the tailpipe of a Toyota Celica typically indicates that coolant is entering the engine's combustion chamber, often due to a blown head gasket, a cracked engine block, or a damaged cylinder head. This can lead to overheating and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly. It's important to diagnose the issue quickly to prevent further complications. Checking coolant levels and inspecting for leaks can help identify the source of the problem.

Why did timing ignition fail smog on 1989 Toyota Celica?

One of the primary causes for this is a stretched timing belt. Even though the belt is a notched belt, they do stretch just enough to make the timing not conform to smog specs. I have had this happen, too, and found that a timing belt replacement solved the problem.
