3 Tail Light problem of the 1999 Chevrolet Venture

Failure Date: 09/09/2005

Having to replace both taillight socket modules. The weather proof seal in the passenger side taillight was the start of the problem. Water leaked inside causing the socket to short. It melted on of the pins in the plug that attached to the module. This short has happened on both sides now and has started to affect other electrical systems, such as the anti-lock brake system, and the internal dash lights when the brake pedal is depressed. The signal lights do not work at night when the headlamps are on. I am presently searching for replacement parts to repair them.
