Both break lights do not work. Bulb and fuses have been changed. All other
lights work. Help! 2000  Jeep 4x4 sport

See? I told you if they were broken they were 'break' lights.

Have you checked your BRAKE switch at the BRAKE pedal?

I need to take a break...

If you didn't know to check the fuse for power, stop before you make it
worse, hire a mechanic, and take an auto shop class.

I have to agree with Stpendous Man.  If you dont know how to check fuses or
electical, or dont know how to explain in more detail what's wrong...you
need to go to an auto mechanic.  I thinki t's a muffler fuse, but they can
be very complicated to replace.

They are either brake lights or broke lights.

A common ailment is the loss of ground.

Ok, this happened to me once, so i won't be a smart allec and tell you
what it may be. I assume you are talking about a wrangler. On my '97
there is a contact on the hinge side of the tailgate door that can can
become dirty and not allow the brake lights to work. IT look like two
silver buttons about the size of nikels if i remember correctly. I
just scraped them with my pocket knife blade and the lights worked
again, although a wire brush woul probably work better. Anyway, that
is the way the power runs to your rear lights without having to run a
wire through the door hinge. Hope that helps, it could be other things
though.

I think the OP is talking about the right and left side brake lights,
not the center brake light.
