The rear light socket plate may fail causing a brake light or other rear light to stop working.

  • Visitor, 2000 Pontiac Montana, 86,000 mi

    Brake lights burned out repeated, almost as soon as they were installed, then stopped working altogether, some melting and corrrosion in sockets. All other rear lights fine. Replaced rear light circuit boards ( about $25 each) and new pigtail harnesses (about 50$). Problem solved, for now
