Default 2007 RX 350 - TRAC & VSC, ABS, BRAKE LIGHT come on intermediately

I have a 2007 RX350 and these lights come on intermittently --> TRAC & VSC LIGHTS ON. ALSO ABS, BRAKE LIGHT. When I turn the car off and on again they would disappear. So I cannot take it to Autozone (For code read) because the problem goes away when car is shut off/on.

I believe it is tied to the front brakes which are new but the steering wheel shakes when braking. I had the rotors turned a year ago and it seemed to have fixed the problem but now the shakes are back and so is the light problem.

This makes me think that there is a loose connection (Wire / connector) around the front brakes. If anyone knows where it could be located I would appreciated it.

Thanks!

I have had the same thing in my 2004 rx330. I was told that it is very likely the brake light switch. Inexpensive part, but a PITA to replace. I have not replaced it yet. It hasn't happened in over a month, and the brake lights still function properly.

It has to be the brake light switch. There has been a DIY on this.
