Black TL

For the last week or so, my brake lamp light keeps coming on while I drive. I checked all my bulbs and they all work so I do not see the problem. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Maybe a sensor is bad?

are you talking about the emergency brake light around the fuel gauge?

Sometimes it's not easily noticeable. It could just be the filament for the brakes, so that if you just have the light's on it looks as if none are burn't out. Since there are multiple bulbs in each tail, it's not always obvious. Make sure that none are slightly dimmer than the others, and also check when stepping on the brakes.

err...... you are not saying you see the light saying "brake" on all the time on your dash when driving right? is so, that's your emergency brake..... you have been engaging the brake while driving......

otherwise, yeah, sometimes no bulbs are out but the light is on. though it could be a good indication of some bulbs dying.

Here is what I'd suggest you to do...
Turn you head light on,
Go to the rear of your car and check if the both brake lights are on... If both of them are on, then...
Have someone to step on the brake for you while you at the rear checking and see brake lights comes on.
I think that it is because of your bulb(s) that needs to be replaced... that's not to say that they are burnt or anything...
If I'm correct, you'll see why as you check on the the bulbs.
Good luck.

I'm not sure but don't canadian TL's have 2 brake warning lights?

On the american TL, the brake lamp indicates that you may have a blown bulb but it also indicates if you have a problem with the braking system. Maybe your fluid is low. Try adding some brake fluid and see if it goes away.

Hey Rosh, how come I dont see you cruising around anymore?

My Emergency Brake Light used to come on all the time in my old Camry. I took it to the mechanic, and he just added some brake fluid. That solved the problem for me. I hope yours will be as easy to fix too.

I apologize for not being clear. The BRAKE light is not on, the BRAKE LAMP light comes on when I drive. I have checked all my brake bulbs both, parking and when someone steps on the brake. None of them are blown out or loose. I bought two new bulbs today so I will try putting them in and see what happens. Maybe the bulb is dying but its not noticable.

Thanks
