brake lights not working yaris 58 plate

[hotracer_05]

Sorry to revive this, but man I really with there was more in this thread. Im having the same issue (tail light brake lights not working, but 3rd brake light is). I was reading some general troubleshooting and it said the actual switch on the steering column might be bad. Anyone have any knowledge on all this?

If your 3rd brake light is working but the lower ones aren't than it's not brake pedal switch. Best bet is to pull the bulbs that aren't working and check the power and ground wires with a test light. The multi meter method like CTScott suggested is another good method.
