SOURCE: the tail lights are out, so the brake lights-Jeep Grand Cherokee

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]

2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo odometer turns off check gauges light, brake light, abs light, turn on and the motor stays running

My guess would be a short or bad connection inside the cluster. Some Chrysler products have problems with connections between the dash and body computer.

My 96 jeep cherokee will start for a couple sec. then shut down my cehck engine light do not come on or none of my gauges can anyone help me

The flashing light on your car is telling there is a problem. On some vehicles require a OBD2 code scanner for the diagnosis. Once you know the code, you can most likely repair it yourself. There are fairly easy procedures that most people are capable of repairing.

What does it mean when the check gage light come on and the oil pressure hand goes to the zero mark? I have a 2000 jeep grande cherokee limited with 124,000 miles.

Either the oil level is very low or the engine bearings have failed (assuming the gauge is accurate) if the engine isn't making noise and the level is full have a mechanical gauge installed to check actual pressure. if good, the sending unit or gauge is faulty.
If in doubt, do not drive or run the engine 'tll the problem has been diagnosed.

Hi there i have grand cherokee laredo 3.1td 2000, i have the folling problem when i turn the car on after 30s the gauges os dashboard go donw, and it apears on panel the lights of abs, airbag engine check,...

Try having your battery tested and your alternator it sounds like you have a low battery condition or a bad battery connection or a cable that has corroded and not allowing power to come threw the cable. This also could be caused by a diode Trio In the alternator allowing it to short to ground. So if you have it tested at auto zone or sears, auto zone does it for free then you can go on from there. Even a ground cable being loose could cause this problem. But you must make Sure you have The right battery voltage to even start a repair or diagnosis on this problem. let me know if you need more help.

Dash and shifter lights in 1996 jeep cherokee wont light

Hello and welcome to FixYa . Locate the dial that controls the brightness of the dashboardlights. If the control is not immediately evident. Make sure the brightness control is turned on. If it is and the lights aren't working, the problem may be a bad fuse. Check the fuse that controls the dashboard lights Replace the fuse if necessary. If just one part of the instrument panel is not lighting up, then you have either a burned-out bulb or a wiring problem.
