Bad brake light switch
It has been my personal experience with my own 1997 Cadillac Catera that the "fuse box" for the brake lights is actually the "fuse panel" located beneath an easily removable panel under the steering wheel. Please note: if your brake lights/tail lights are not working and it doesn't appear to be a fuse, there is a switch that might need to be replaced that is located under the fuse panel also and a mechanic could take 5 minutes to look and let you know if this is the case. I paid approximately $40 one year ago for the part and $70 total installed. If you want to do it yourself, it's not hard, I just didn't want to climb under the steering wheel. Also, another tell tale sign that it's the switch (can't remember proper name) going out is that sometimes you have brake/taillights and sometimes not. Good Luck!
There is no dipstick to check the transmission fluid on a 1998 Cadillac Catera. It can be checked by opening the fill plug on the side of the transmission. If you are at that point you might as well change the fluid if you have over 70000 miles.
on the brake pedal under the dash is a brake light switch. that when you depress the brake it turns your lights on. you might wanna check that
Fog lights won't operate if high beams are on. might want to check the wiring, relay, and the bulbs
To repair the 1998 Cadillac Catera coolant system, the steps will vary depending on the actual problem. You might need to replace hoses or connections or you might need a new radiator or thermostat.?æ
check your ground wires...they might be loose or detached.
If your parking lights are on and your left brake light doesn't work, the brake may have burnt out. You might also have a wiring problem.

Check the brake light switch ,on the brake pedal. Might need adjusting.
bad switch on brake pedal? do you have brake lights?
Take a hammer to the tail lights then they will shut off but you might have to get them replaced or somting The tail lights you see may actually be the brake lights stuck on because of a faulty or out of adjustment brake light switch.
Have you gone to a macanic because the wires on the tail lights might have blown.
