albotti Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hi All, I have a problem that just started, my parking lights and tail lights go out about after 20 minutes into operation. The headlights remain on and brake lights and flashers still will work. If I shut the car off for a few minutes the lights will start working again for another 20 minutes or so and go out again. This leads me to beleive its probably an electonics problem with a light Control Module. BCM/PZM maybe. Has anyone had this problem with their external lights before? any experience appreciated. Thanks, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think it's more likely a relay. Somebody with experience in this problem should chim in. If not, I'll come back with data from the 1997 FSM. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Ranger Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I don't think there are any relays for the lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenJ Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Maybe this will help . . . There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albotti Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi All, Thanks for your replys and help. I took my Eldo to the local Dealer after researching all the possibilities. It did have a bad relay. There is one specifcally for all parking lights behind the back seat with all the other modules. Only a $16 part plus labor of course. If someone else gets this at least they will know. Now I can deal with the fixit ticket! Best Regards, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
