This forum is great. All the suggested ideas help a lot and save me money and time. I was able to locate the white box which in case was yellow and found the 2wires and spliced them together and it work just like explained. Thank you all for your help.

I was scratching my brain so hard regarding this issue that I was losing sleep over it.
Then I found this post. Took me all of 10 minutes to do the repair and "Bam"......it was fixed and all was working correctly.
Thank you....thank you....thank you.

PS.......Sleeping like a baby..........zzzzzzzzzzz.

Re: 1987 Camry - No brake lights

I own a 1990 Camry.
My brake lights stopped working.
I checked fuse, bulbs, all good. Installed new stop/break light switch under dash above brake peddle . Still no brake lights. I was getting 12 v at the break light switch. Put a gator clip jumper across the break light switch wires to insure 12 v was coming in and leaving the switch circuit .
Still no break lights. I then went online and landed on this forum I just joined. Posts on this problem spoke of a Failed Lamp Module in the trunk on left side fender well under carpet panel. I located the yellow module. I removed the circuit board to check for burned out spots as previous posts suggested . I found one burned out circuit. I took my knife blade and cleaned the black carbon residue off at the break in the circuit board. Then I took my basic type soldering iron and soldered the break back together! Reinstalled the module! Guess what?
NOW MY BREAK LIGHTS WORK AGAIN!

I found out that Toyota wants $200.00 for a new module!
Junk yards want aprox $38.00!
With this forums guidance I fixed it myself for $0.00!

MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED TO SOLVING MY PROBLEM!

I have pics of burned out spot on circuit board and a pic of the module if you want them.
