I would check to see if the blinker outside is working. Same thing happened to my moms camry and when we looked outside the rear blinker was dead.

Isn't there a wattage/voltage difference between 94 harness and 95 harness. Uprgrading the tails gives the hyperblink for all years doesnt it?

That's where the hyperblink comes from I'm pretty sure, because of the difference in current running through the system now as opposed to before. The newer tails use less power since the lights are mostly wedge bulbs instead of filaments, so your car thinks your lights arent there because it doesnt pick up enough resistance, causing the hyperblink.

Is that right?

you can fix it by wiring in the rite resistor or find the right taillight failure module and swap that out for ur stock one. it's located near the antenna assembly in the trunk.

for the love of God, why do people refuse to search for answers to these EXTREMELY common issues?????????

load resistors OR wire in 2 additional sockets and bulbs (2 for each taillight) in your trunk. Done.
