Car Forum / Jeep / June 20071998 Jeep Wrangler Right Break Light Not working
Hello, i have a 1998 jeep wrangler sport and i just realized that my right break light is not working, i have changed the bulbs and checked all the fuses and they are all good. the bulbs do light up when i turn on my headlights but when i break they don't. if anyone can help me please let me know it would be very much appreciated, Thanks! It's BRAKE light. The brake lights and turn signals use the same filiment in the bulb. The running light uses the other filiment. Put the left side bulb in the right side, and vice versa, and see if the problem remains on the same side, or follows the bulb. Check the condition of the front bulbs at the same time. Actually, run the test before changing any bulbs, and check front and rear, then move bulbs around and check again. > Hello, i have a 1998 jeep wrangler sport and i just realized that my > right break light is not working, i have changed the bulbs and checked > all the fuses and they are all good. the bulbs do light up when i turn > on my headlights but when i break they don't. if anyone can help me > please let me know it would be very much appreciated, Thanks! > It's BRAKE light.

Do you by chance have a rock guard cage around the taillights? Does the signal on that side work?

I've had them on for about 8 years now. > I actually do have a rock guard cage around both tail lights.. I've > had them on for about 8 years now. There you go. If the signal also isn't working, you need to remove the screws holding the light fixture onto the tub and clean the screws. They are the ground and once the factory set is broken by removal, they corrode and lose the connection.

Had it happen when I still had regular lights on my rig (went to flush mounts). -jenn >>jorge1145 wrote: >>> I actually do have a rock guard cage around both tail lights..

I checked out the screws yesterday holding the tail [brake] light to the body after work and, sure enough, they were rusty and were the root of the problem. After a little WD-40 cleanup and jiggling the screws with a wrench the tail light became way more luminous. After I fixed the right one I noticed that the left was also very dim (which I couldn't tell before) and proceeded to fix that one as well! Now my Jeep is fixed and safer on the highway.

Sounds like your break light is broek. > Hello, i have a 1998 jeep wrangler sport and i just realized that my > right break light is not working, i have changed the bulbs and checked > all the fuses and they are all good. the bulbs do light up when i turn > on my headlights but when i break they don't. if anyone can help me > please let me know it would be very much appreciated, Thanks! Hi Jorge, Check the brake light switch up where the pedal lever joins the push rod, wiggle it with your hand and have a spotter see if the lights then work. Use a voltmeter to see if you have power to the switch, then out on compression.

SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Wouldn't a failure at the brake light switch put both brake lights out, not just the righthand one? > Hi Jorge, > Check the brake light switch up where the pedal lever joins the push [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> on my headlights but when i break they don't. if anyone can help me >> please let me know it would be very much appreciated, Thanks! -- "We began to realize, as we plowed on with the destruction of New Jersey, that the extent of our American lunatic fringe had been underestimated." Orson Wells on the reaction to the _War Of The Worlds_ broadcast. Yes. A failure at the Turn Signal Switch might cause one brake light to stop working. Bill is the only one I know that starts with the most difficult test and works toward the easy one. > Wouldn't a failure at the brake light switch put both brake lights out, > not just the righthand one?
