The brake light switch is broken or out of adjustment.
Underneath the steering column
Toyato never made Tercels. :P But the Toyota Tercel's brake light switch is located ON the brake pedal just above the viewable area.
It's on the brake pedal just above the viewable area.
Light housing twists from inside of trunk for access of bulbs.Toyo joe
It is usually located on the brake pedal itself approximately halfway up
More than likely, the stop pad has fallen or broken off.
Disconnecting the brake light switch requires crawling under the steering column of a vehicle. The brake switch is placed behind the brake pedal and the clip for the switch will be on top. Simply unplug it.
don't bother-its not worth the hassle. Or go to a local body shop or the Toyota dealer near you and get their opinion

Over drive
Two most probable possibilities immediately come to mind. To be checked out and eliminated first is that the brake light switch is not adjusted properly. The second would be that the brake light switch has become defective.j3h. check to see that brake pedal is releasing properly and not resting on brake light switch
If it is the tail lights, it is the headlight switch. If it is the brake lights, it is probably the brake light switch. I really don't know how to replace the bulb in the 3rd light. change the brake light bulb first it may be shorted causeing the other problem
