Electrical problem
1998 Other Oldsmobile Models 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 1998 Oldsmobile Regency. Sometimes both of the brake lights work and sometimes the left side light will be out and the right side will work and sometimes it's the other way around with the right side out and the left working. The middle brake light always works. I have installed a new brake switch, checked the bulbs, sockets, and fuse and I still have the problem. Thanks

Hi:
It sounds like the sockets are bad (even though they look good) or you have a bad ground. Check for damaged or corroded grounds.

Let me know what you find.
