Tail lamp failure indicator

With a 12v test light test the connectors that the bulbs plug into to make sure there is current to that point. If so make sure that the ground is good.

6. Remove the bulbs from the tail lamp and the side marker lamp sockets, if replacing the bulbs.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Install the bulbs to the tail lamp and side marker lamp sockets, if removed.
2. Install the tail lamp and side marker lamp sockets to the tail lamp, turning clockwise until the locking tab is fully seated.
3. Connect the tail lamp electrical connector to the wiring harness.
4. Position the tail lamp retainer slots to the tabs on the rear body panel.
5. Install the tail lamp to the rear body panel, pressing into place until fully seated.
6. Install the tail lamp screws to the Taillamp.

NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

Tighten the tail lamp screws to 2 N.m (18 lb in).

7. Close the liftgate.

Open the trunk. In the left corner where the lamp assembly is, you should see two screw covers that cover the screws holding in the lamp assembly.



Remove these covers to find the screws, and unscrew them to pull the taillamp assembly out of the vehicle body. Disconnect the lamp wiring harness, turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to pull out the socket, revealing the light bulb. Then pull the bulb right out of the socket and replace it with a new bulb.

Replace the socket, turning it clockwise. Replace the taillight assembly. Check that the taillamp assembly tab, located at the bottom of the taillamp assembly, is aligned to the facia bracket before securing the screws.



Screw the taillamp assembly back into the vehicle body and replace the screw covers. Check to make sure the new bulb works properly.

Your owners manual specifies that the rear left turn lamp is a lamp with bulb number 3057K. You should be able to find them at any automotive store or from your dealer. Hope this helps.

Hello. Please allow me to assit.

The light that you see is the 'rear taillamp failure ' indicator. This light comes on when you have a burnt out brake or taillamp. A sensor in the trunk (driver side) looks after the operation of the rear bulbs,.

When checking the rear lamps for outages, please do not forget to look at the brake light in the rear window, it too is monitored by the rear lamp failure sensor.

Replace any burned out lightbulbs, and the sensor will shut off the light.

Could be the bulb sockets or the circuit board built into the whole taillamp assembly. The sockets are only about $12 and there should be 3 of them per side. If more than 1 bulb is not lighting up in your taillamp then I would say that your problem is the circuit board which like I said only comes in the taillamp assembly. Dealers usually keep these in stock since this is a problem these jeeps have been having. Next I would think about finding some window regulators cheap also cause those are all about to go out as well. Just a little friendly advice. Good luck.

This is the taillamp failure indicator. You either have a burned out taillamp or a burned out brake lamp bulb(s). Please make sure when you check for inoperative brake lamps that you make sure that the brake lamp in the rear window works, also.

Look to see if the "center" brake light is inoperative. The symbol that you are describing is the indicator for a taillamp failure. I would bet that the brake lamp in the back window is not lighting up. Also, it is very important that ALL of the taillamp bulbs be of the same brand. Different brands may have different wattages, and this too could light the failure indicator, as the sensor reads resistance via the total wattage draw when the lights are on. Hope this helps.

The indicator you are speaking of is the taillamp failure indicator. Most likely, you may have a burned out brake lamp bulb. This has nothing to do with the front lighting, brake & tail lamps only.
