There was a manufacturing problem with the original equipment brake light sockets which allowed many to fail prematurely. Saturn attempted to replace all of the brake light assemblies through a recall campaign. If your brake light assembly has not already been replaced, contact your local Saturn dealer.
there could be a brake light switch located around the brake pedal, this commonly wears out on a Chevy truck The brake sockets are no good There was a campaign for updated brake sockets. Has it been done by a Saturn dealer? If not get it done and you should be fine
There is a campaign on the brake bulbs for 2000-2003......If it hasn't been done you should get it done. The bulbs and sockets will be replaced.
On the undwerside of the dash attached to the brake pedal.
Bulbs blown, or corroded sockets.
Check sockets and grounds
Saturn repail manual
Are you getting power to/through the switch? Sockets grounded? Open wire to the sockets?
Check the bulbs- they are double filamented with the smaller for brake lights Check the fuse Check the sockets for power and ground Check the sockets for corrosion
It's a ground fault in one or both of the brake lights. Instead of brake light voltage going across the bulb and to vehicle ground, it's going across the brake light then back across the tail-light and into the tail light/dash light circuit. Check the brake light sockets first. Saturn had some problems with some of their tail light assemblies corroding from too much heat when lights were on for an extended period of time. You might be able to just clean up the connections in the tail light assembly then put it all back together with a little of the special grease that they use for light sockets. If that's not it, check the ground wire and make sure it's getting a good connection.
Just buy new brake pads.
check that you're getting dc voltage to the brake bulb sockets. also, clean out and replace any old electrical grease at the bulb's sockets.
Yes, there is a diagram of the rear brake shoes of the 1999 Saturn SC1. It is found in the cars maintenance or repair manual.
