Why do break lights keep going out?klingbile76 - 2008 Saturn Vue - Brakes - 4/19/2013I have an 08 Saturn Vue. A couple months ago one of my breaks light went out. While procrastinating a couple of weeks to fix it the other light went out. (I thought it was weird that they both went out a couple weeks within each other but stranger things have ...-
4/19/2013 HouseCallAutoI will get deeper into this if needed but first check the other brake light fuse (there are two). There is fuse 26 (a 10 amp fuse) in the underhood fuse panel that you probably replaced. But in the other fuse panel (in the pass side of the console) there is a fuse labeled BCM (VB4) which is either a 15 or a 20 amp fuse. Check and confirm that there is battery voltage on both sides of the fuse with the engine running. use a 12 volt circuit tester like this to check >> https://www.google.com/search

Why am I losing break fluid from my back passenger sidejames - 1994 Saturn SL2 - Brakes - 12/3/2012All ways adding brake fluid-
12/3/2012 JimmSeveral possibilities; leaking brake fluid from the system; rear brake caliper leak, rear wheel flexible hoses. May also be loss of fluid from the brake lines themselves. One cannot tell for certain without a thorough inspection.

Right front caliper stays in break mode,it is a new caliper because the same problem damaged original onejason - 2003 Saturn Vue - Brakes - 10/8/2012installed new caliper because pistons would not go back in and it got so hot it damaged caliper and break pads,,the new one is doing the same thing only on right front side,what is causing this,,does the emergency break activate anything to cause this-
5/11/2012 jasonAfter 2 days of work I found that break hose was falling apart inside,enough fluid from pressure was getting to caliper,but since hose is blocked off most of the way,,breaking system would not let breaks release, causing pistons to not pull back in to release breaks,, -
10/8/2012 d-rockI have the exact same situation here Jason. A friend told me their daughters car needed front brakes. When I got it, it was one of the worst I've seen damage wise. The front calipers were almost all the way extended, the rubber seals that keep the brake fluid in were all tattered and almost non existant. the rotors wore so far on one side that they were almost completely through the one side into the ribs. It created so much heat from the metal grinding it melted the speed sensor. $350 in parts!
