tail light failure sensor

[camlex]

I bought 2000 ES300(Camry V6) with 131,500. It is in good condition.

On instrument cluster i have tail light warning. I check all rear light they working fine. If i remember right
my 97 had headlight indicator on instrument cluster, but this car don't show that bulb sign. Also seat belt sign light is out. I am assuming
those bulbs are out,that's reason that warning (Tail light) showing. Am i assuming right?

I looked in my trunk, I didn't see yellow box(Tail light failure sensor)

Two question to 2000 ES owners
1. where is location of Tail light sensor.
3. How to open instrument cluster to replace bulbs

Thanks in advance

You will get better help over at CL. While us ES members are short on super heavy mods, we do know our stuff

I'm a 2ES guy though so I can't help you for your questions -.-"

I just replace bulb in instrument cluster for head light indicatoer and seat light bulb, was not that hard.
still tail light failure indicator is showing. I looked everything in trunk,
I could not find sensor.

Again, thanks for for reply.

Have a good day.

Might be the contacts or a warning that the bulbs will die. I would suggest replacing all at the same time so none are brighter than the others but I don't know if you really want to do that...

Again, thank you for your all inputs.
