I have Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 2001 - right "brake" light is out. Not the tail light itself. I tried to replace the bulb but when i hit the brake the light wont shine. However, when i let off the gas the tail light works. Could this be fuse related or maybe a loose connection somewhere?

I would check the fuses, and then all of the connection to the bulbs , to make sure that there is not corrosion, or shortage in the wires.

Dim Dashboard Lights

I think this indicates that you have an exterior light out. Check the tail lights, brake lights and the three bulbs that are mounted at the top of the rear window.

2001 Grand Cherokee Limited- Driver side rear brake light does not work if tail lights are on. When you step on brake tail light also goes out. With lights off everything works ok.

Very common issue is the lamp assembly (dealer item). They are very bad to ground back through the tail lamp filament, lights on the path has voltage on it and the lamp will not work.

No brake lights on 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee

First thing to do is chk. the fuse for break lights, if thats ok, than i would say its the break light switch. As far as the right taillight, that could be as simple as a bad bulb.

1993 jeep grand cherokee limited no running lights/tail lights.

Id look at the headlight switch and do some voltage tests to see whats coming out of there. Pay close attention to any wires which look like someone was in there already.People can mess stuff up faster and better than the vehicle can by itself!
