2000 Toyota Corolla Brake Light Fuse & Switch Replacement 

Thank you bro, this video really helped me looked down on the floor mat, and there it was, the plastic plunger .

Thank you for having this here. It's close to midnight and I was going crazy about my car battery dying. I popped that fuse right out, and I get to rest easy at least until tomorrow.

Thank you very much for the video. It's one of the better RU-vid help videos because you get right to the point and I didn't have to stand on my head to figure everything out to make my lights to go back off! In the rain I might add..

Wonderful, thank you! As someone who knows very little about cars, you've allowed to me to identify the issue based on the broken stopper on my floor mat, and remove the fuse so my battery doesn't go flat while I arrange to purchase and install a new stopper. Very clear video and much appreciated!

Thanks bro just purchased my first car 2 days ago its a 1999 Corolla, i was pulling it in the garage the night i bought and realized the break lights wouldnt turn off, so my sisters boyfriend told me to disconnect the battery so the lights wouldnt drain it. Had tondo that everytime i came from somewhere cuz theybl would stay on, went to the toyota dealership yesterday morning ordered the plunger part you were talking about , picked it up a coulpe hours ago and fixed it. Though it was a little cramped. Thanks so much bro you save me from having to buy a new sensor

Great video. This helped my son temporarily fix the brake lights on his 2001 Toyota Corolla that wouldn’t turn off. He just removed the fuse and will take the car to the shop sometime later. Thank you very much. The video was great and the narration was great.

Thanks heaps man. Super simple and straight-to-the-point. Incredibly helpful when I got home at 11.30pm and my brake lights stayed on. Fixed in less than 10 mins coz of this video. Thanks again

Brilliantly done mate! This resolved my issue! I’m going to get that plunger as I diagnosed that to be the issue!

Good coverage it is a tight squeeze but watching this video several times really helped!

Excellent, saw some black rubber stuff on my floorboard and just thought it was trash. Went to install the new brake switch and couldn't figure out what was wrong. Pulled this video up and realized instantly I didn't have rubber plunger grommet piece. Thank you for showing this!

Thank you for posting this. I got to my car last night and saw it was on and won’t go off. I’ll be using your video as reference to fix it on my own.

Excellent camera quality and very well explained! Thank you so much!

Thanks for making this. Great camera work and clear view/explanation. Wish me luck, hopefully replacing the switch does the trick.

Thank you! I found that little plunger in pieces on the floor. Part ordered. This should fix my problem provided I can get it in. Thanks again!!!!

Great video. After you mentioned the plastic pieces on the floor matt I found my problem. Thanks bro.

You saved my bacon today. Thanks

This was very informative and super helpful. Thank you.. ended up being the cushion piece.. And I found it on my floormats too

Nailed it. That was super quick on troubleshooting. Thanks for the solution. 👌 My 2001 Corolla brake lights seemed to be stuck on. The little plastic piece under the brake pedal (as mentioned in the video) was shattered and laying on the mat at my feet. I simply pulled the fuse (also as mentioned in this video), and the lights went out, thus preserving my battery until an appropriate repair can be made. 🙏 😅

Very informative and clear. Thanks for good demo of the wire harness clip and how best to adjust the switch on installing a replacement. Got the job done quickly (removal of spring to access the lock nut was helpful)and was able to fine tune the brake pedal pressure so brake lights come on with just light foot pressure like they’re supposed to. Kudos!

Also good logical step by step coverage.

Thanks for the video it is well done. I had a Toyota parts store close and bought the brake light switch cushion for $4 rather than the Dorman, Elsewhere I read starting the engine allows the brake to depress further and then slipping the cushion in is no problem. I was more worried about doing myself damage dislocating something crawling up under there and getting back out.

Thank you so much for this video - Led me to diagnose my problem very quickly -great job!

You’re a g! Spent some time in that pedal box and didn’t notice the spacer in between the pedal assembly and the switch…. I hope just that it’ll do it! Cheers to pick n pull

Thanks so much, Lehew Tech. Very helpful to solve my problem!

Ugh, I was stoked to find this and found that the issues was that little rubber stopper, but it wouldn't stay in and finally disintegrated. I hesitantly bought a new one but installing it is like the most difficult thing I've had to do to a Toyota. This seems an odd design. Follow up: I simply unplugged and backed out the switch a couple mm and it popped right in, after contorting myself like a ballerina.

Thank you very much for this video it’s very well done and informative, have a great day and best of luck on everything

Thank you… a wonderful tutorial. You helped me so very much!

Thanks homie, the plastic pad broke on my Corolla, I almost bought a new switch.

Perfect video! Thank you mate!

just what I needed

Excellent video! Many thanks.

Awesome video man! Thank you!

Thanks for the video. Consider a new format so that you could use two hands for repairs.

Best video on RU-vid for this..TY

Thanks so much

Hey man thanks this helped alot

good stuff mate - appreciate the info - cheers

Hello. How about the hand brake light switch? The brake indicator in my dash board stay even I put my hand brake down. Every thing is ok brake fluid, and frotn rear brake .

I have a 08 and I checked fuzes all good, just replaced the break light switch. Buy only my 3rd tail light Illuminate. Which multifunction Switch. should I replace? Or fix the problem

Dude sounds like demolition ranch 💯

Would like to know years of interchange I have 97 corolla seems to be the same for many years and models

I switched out the small plastic piece now my brakes feel extremely stiff. Any suggestions

I am having this issue atm I am hoping it just the little white thing between the pedal and the switch

Thanks for video. First time writing on here. I own an old Toyota Matrix 2004, basic model. There's an issue with the rear brake light on the right. Left side is fine. Tried to change the bulb. it's not that. Pushing break pedal only lights the left side. I also noticed that when the engine is off, and I turn the headlights to high beams, the lights in the back also light up - and both sides. - all the lamps! I know, this sounds like a mistery. Any advice would be aprreciated. Thx.

Thanks for the great, easy to understand video. 😎

Good video but you make it look easy, that switch is way up under there on my 2002 Corolla, did you remove any dash panels first to give more room? I practically have to stand on my head just to see it. thanks.

Does that switch control your cruise turning off and shifter release? Both stopped working in my corolla

You're the best!

I have a 99 Camry both of my outer brake lights are failing my sensor bar still works turn signals work running lights work display out heater control unit out do you think this could be linked

My3rd break light won’t work but all other lights work any idea?

Where do I buy the rubber

This was helpful! Thanks

Do you recommend getting an original Toyota switch, or will aftermarket do?

Very nice 👍

Does anyone have a part number for a 2001 Corolla brake switch?

How do you replace the plunger on the brake

Hey brother, I actually need that white rubber piece? What is that called if I go to the parts dept and ask,??

🤙

The tail light fuse, the one under the stop fuse, is supposed to be 10A, not 15.

2001 part looks nothing like 2002 paart.

there is an A/C plastic tube that blocks any view of the brake light switch on a 2000 Corolla CE and you do not even mention problems getting to the switch itself...

chur my maori
