Lexus LX Brake Light Errors

Help! My 2019 Lexus LX diesel is throwing fits. The brake lights are out, I'm getting errors in the infotainment, and the error memory is full of brake light switch faults. Anyone seen this before?

I had something similar happen on my LX. Check the fuses first. It might sound dumb, but a blown fuse can cause all sorts of weirdness with the electronics in these things.

Where's the fuse box located, and which fuse am I looking for? I'm not the greatest with electrical stuff.

Okay, fuse box is usually under the dash on the driver's side. There should be a diagram showing the brake light fuse. Honestly, though, I'd just take it to a workshop. Electrical gremlins can be a real pain.

Wow, you called it! Turns out the trailer hitch wiring harness was causing a short and kept blowing the fuse. Unplugged the harness, replaced the fuse. Works perfectly now! Thanks a million!
