Default 2001 RX300 All three brake lights out

Hello, woke up to unseasonably cold temps, 24F in Seattle, and I had no brake lights. They were working fine the evening before. Has anyone experienced this before? I find it odd that all three bulbs would go at once. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Can you shift out of Park with the brake pedal depressed?

If not then please check the fuse by the driver side left knee. You may have to pop out the coin holder.

Yes, I can shift normally. All of the other rear lights and turn signals work fine as well. It's only the three brake lights that are not functioning. Thanks

Brake light failure module. The part is $300 on-line, $500 from the dealer and they'll charge you $300 to install. It's under the rear left trunk trim panel Search on this forum for more details.

Agree. Read the other threads for how to easily fix a possible broken solder joint within the device without spending money on a replacement.
