I have a 1989 Camry, the center brake light will not work. The other brake lights work fine. The "Rear Lights" indicator on the dash is always on when the car is running.
At first I thought it was just the bulb, changed it and still will not work. After reading online posts I believe it may be the Lamp Failure Sensor.
Is there a way to bypass this sensor?

 

Determine if the power wire to the bulb has 12v when brake lights are on.

The sensor can be bypassed. First check the above. If no power find the sensor and post back. Location is drivers side wall, trunk.
