Tailights/brakelight f'ed up

I know some people have had a similar problem to their taillights not working,etc. Originally my brake lights worked but my front corners and taillights didnt. I changed the fuse and it kept killing them so I put a much larger fuse in. My gauges/front corner lights/corner back lights work, but the main central ones don't light up with the corner tail lights nor do any light up with the brakes. All the bulbs are good and same with the fuses. I took out the lamp failure relay in the back and I think that's slightly fried. I was wondering if anyone knows if the actual lamp failure relay is intertwined with the brake relay or is something else is just wrong. I've been looking at it for awhile now and I'll probably have to take it in to Toyota and get seriously ripped off.

bump,I've had a system set up about 6 months prior to this, but I don't think that it could be the cause of it ?

the light failure sensor is hooked up to the tail lights and the brake lights, you may wanna replace it or bypass it completely

where's the light faliure sensor at??? how come mine didnt go off when my tail/dash lights broke?

ps. hey dont take your car to a dealer, take it to local shop that works on foreign cars, that's what im doing casue the one here in my town i pass by everyday on the way to work, and they have camry's in and out of there all the time, so i know that they know how to work on camry's, also i've already talked to them and it doesnt seem like they'll be more expensive than to take it to a dealer...so you may wanna check to see if you got one of those kinds of shops where you live

the light failure sensor is located in the abstract world of electrical schematics. I'm not sure of where it is located physically.
