It sounds like you are having a problem with your parking lights not turning off on your 1999 Oldsmobile 88. There could be a number of causes for this issue, including a problem with the light switch, a fault in the wiring, or a problem with the light bulbs or sockets. To diagnose the problem, I recommend starting by checking the light bulbs and sockets to make sure they are working properly. You can do this by replacing the bulbs with new ones and checking the sockets for any signs of damage or corrosion. If the problem persists, it could be an issue with the wiring or the light switch. If you are not comfortable performing these checks yourself, or if you are unable to identify the cause of the problem, I recommend taking your car to a mechanic for further diagnosis. They will be able to identify the cause of the problem and recommend the appropriate repair.

Most are difficult to get to and so many don't work correctly that it it's almost silly to even use it. Far easier is to simply remove lower hose from radiator. It works better and faster. Just be careful though...Don't do hot or you may get an unwanted scalding bath!!

could be crankshaft sensor.

Headlamp relay contacts could be stuck together causing the headlamps staying on , or the lamp control module is bad .

Pull this circuit breaker till you can find the problem. Check for applicable trouble codes. You have a lighting control module, I can't troubleshoot that component from here.

Sounds like a fuel issue. I would make sure you have at least 45lbs of fuel pressure at the fuel rail. If not, make sure the fuel pump runs. Chances are you will need to drop the fuel tank and change out the fuel pump.

Bencar1 is right. The problem is probably the resistor. But it also could be a burned terminal in the 4 prong plug that attaches to the resistor. There will be burn marks on one of the prongs of the resistor if this is it. Look for the obvious. Good luck.

This is a tough one. you will probably have to get the car raised on a lift and look up in there to find the release and pull it with needle nose pliers. Before doing that, take apart the release handle inside the car and see if it is broken lose there. If it is, pull the cable with pliers. Good luck.

What about the turn signal switch on the steering column? Did you use a testlight and check voltage at the turn signal fuse? Goes hot when you turn on the key. A lot of times, it's the turn switch or wiring in the steering column, but, It don't hurt to check the basics.

Have you used an accurate oil pressure gauge to see what you have? If the pressure is so low it is not lubing rocker arms, the main bearings are probably shot. You could try replacing the pump and running thicker oil to get a few more miles from it, but may not work.
