To replace the brake light bulb on a Highlander, follow these steps: 1. First, open the trunk and lift the mat above the spare tire. Remove the eleven self-tapping rivets. 2. Then, detach the plastic panel under the trunk lid and the felt panels on both sides. Simply loosen the clips and pull out the light socket to replace the brake light bulb. 3. Finally, reassemble everything by following the original steps in reverse. Reasons why the brake light stays on include: 1. Low brake fluid: This condition is often accompanied by noticeably reduced braking power and, in severe cases, a complete loss of braking ability. 2. Faulty brake switch: This usually occurs when the brake pedal does not properly engage with the brake sensor switch or when the sensor switch is damaged. 3. Worn or aged brake pads: Worn or aged brake pads can also cause the brake light to stay on. In this case, check the thickness of the brake pads. If the thickness is below the specified value of 0.8 cm, there is a risk of the pads cracking during driving, which could be dangerous.

Why does the Audi Q5L experience intermittent idling vibration?

Reasons for Q5L vibration: 1. Excessive carbon deposits If there is severe carbon buildup in the engine cylinders, it can cause spark plug blockage and valve blockage, directly leading to vehicle vibration during idling. If the car's acceleration performance has significantly deteriorated and the vibration persists, consider performing an engine cylinder cleaning. 2. Fuel system malfunction Unstable fuel pressure can easily cause inconsistent mixture concentration, not only resulting in vibration but also causing unstable idling. First consider replacing the fuel filter, as prolonged use may clog the filter element. Then check the fuel pressure bypassing the fuel filter - if abnormal, it may indicate a fuel pump issue. 3. Engine mount aging This is also a common cause of vibration. If the engine vibration worsens progressively but the power output doesn't weaken accordingly, consider whether it's an engine mount problem. 4. Misfiring This is the most common cause of engine vibration, perhaps even the most frequent one. The problem lies with the engine ignition coil or spark plugs. If the ignition coil malfunctions or the spark plugs fail to fire for some reason, the vehicle will experience vibration.
