What is this warning lamp for, I have tried to describe it but could not do it. I finally got a picture of it. It only comes on when I hit the brakes. |
Check to make sure your brake bulbs are functional and not installed incorrectly or blown.

They all work when the brakes are applied. I have heard it could be the wrong bulb is this true? But the light is for the brake lights right.
|
Maybe it's your reverse lights.
I have not had this problem. |
I remember seeing that symbol in a 007 James Bond film, Bond was driving an Aston Martin, its something to do with squirting oil out the rear, or a warning to tell you that the rear bumper is about to fall off. Although I think supramastic is right, it’s a rear brake bulb failure warning light. If the bulbs are ok then is most likely a bad/corroded connection in the bulb fail unit module, which is located on the right hand side (looking from the rear) near the rear light cluster. On the UK models it’s a blue box that often becomes wet due to a hatch leak.

It is for all rear lights, and the rear side markers, I could see a dead LED causing it.
When I picked up my Supra some of the bulbs were stock Toyota, lol. The first one I went to replace shattered from the pressure of my fingers and cut me pretty bad, I had to use a pair of pliers after that to loosen the bulb, did the same for another three bulbs. The third brake light was also out, literally, all I had there was two wires, lol, I still haven't gotten around to buying a socket for it. The weird thing is that after a few months of driving the warning light stayed off, and it hasn't came back on since. |
I think it is a bad connection, when I am at a stand still the lights work and my brother told me yesterday that one of my tail lamps was out. When I got home I told him to hit the brakes and see for my self and they still work, so it probably is a bad connection.
|
Yea, that reminded me, I had a similar problem with a light going out and then coming back on later. I took some WD-40 and sprayed the entire light assembly's and the light failure box, that solved my problem because of the water running down behind the tail light from the hatch was causing a bad connection.
|
I think this is exactly what is happing chambers. I have seen water running out of the hatch near the 3rd brake light. I will put some WD-40 on near the connection. How do you stop the leak?
