A Camry ?? I read once where the PCB that controls the circuit for the lights out had gotten wet from trunk leak and caused light to stay on. I don't know the location of the board. CW

Have someone hit the brake pedal and stand behind the car, and do it with the lights on as well. Possibly one of the dual fillament bulbs you're overlooking.

The 3rd brake light will work for one day, but won't the next day. But when it isn't working, the 'lights' indicator is on, and vice versa...

doesnt it basically mean that one of your lights are gonna go out soon. But yeah, have someone turn on your headlights, check the brake lights, and turn signals.

In that case, the fillament in that bulb is probably loose. Just replace it.
