Hi,
I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2000, when I turn the lights on in general, the tail lights don't come on even applying the brake; however the signal lights work. I checked the brake switch and park lamp fuses, they are fine. What is the problem and how do I fix it?
I have a 2002 jeep grand cherokee i had the same problem when i would apply my brakes when the headlights were on my brake lights would go out, i found that my bulbsocket was not making good contact with the socket housing, if you notice when you take off a bulb, look at the light fixture where you unscrewed your breaklight bulb you will notice 3 medal contacts-they should be silver in the socket housing and like a copper on the socket bulb, in the socket housing their should be 2 silver contacts together and 1 by itself the one that looks by itself is making bad contact with the copper one thats by itself on the bulb, what you can do for a quick fix is; get a small piece of low cage wire or a thin piece of metal like copper stick that in to the bottom or top of that metal contact--i did it through the bottom leave the wire or piece of medal sticking out enough for where it can get contact with the bulb (just a little wire is enough to make contact, now screw the bulb on and test it---it will work----i did it to mine, if you need more assistance let me know [email protected]
All you need to do is gently pry up on the contacts that lmadrid82 mentioned. ensure that all 3 of them are sticking up above the plastic. then it's just plug and play after that.
The park,brake light sockets have a tendency to melt. I would try swapping the turnsignal socket with the brake light socket and see if it works. They just twist out.
