My passenger brake light keeps going out very quickly after I replace it (within less than a week). The socket that holds the light is melted. The last time I replaced the bulb, the burnt out bulb was all frosted over. What parts do I need to fix it?

Are you sure water isnt getting into the blub/socket area?You will have to replace the socket.I have never seen a S model saturn do that in the over 16yrs i have worjed for saturn dealers.

I called the dealer and they recommended a wiring harness part #2110761. Does this sound accurate? I had a mechanic look at it briefly and he had never seen anything like it before either.
