Two problems related to brake light on have been reported for the 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Brake light plug ins are melting and brake light will not work.
Left brake keeps going out. Upon replacing notice that the contacts are getting covered up by melting plastic. I have replaced the bulb numerous time and even replaced the circuit board. Still the bulbs keep melting. This has started in mid June of 2008. I am at the point now of driving without a left rear brake light.
