ANSWER: The light socket is bad. They eventually will burn up if you keep replacing the bulbs like you are doing now. Go get the revised light socket from the dealership and you will be good.
I have checked all bulbs and wiring in the rear, but the light keeps coming on rear lamp failure, is it a bad ground? if, so where will I look for it.
Your Jeep is trying to let you know, before the ticket, that you need to replace some or all the light bulbs in the back end of the Jeep. ie, Tail lights, Back up lights, Lic. Plate lights, brake lights
The first step would be to verify the bulbs in the tail lights are in fact functioning correctly, i.e. not burned out or broken.
If they are working but you continue to get a failure in the driver information center, then you can either assume the display unit is faulty (these have a habit of going bad) or the hinges on the rear hatch could be worn causing intermittent ground issues. If the hinges do not seem to have any play then examine the latch mechanism closely. The spot welds often break which causes the latch to be loose. This can allow the rear hatch to move excessively when the vehicle is in motion, rough roads, potholes etc, this in turn can lead to false triggers via the driver information center.
Replace the bad bulb, fix the broken wire, repair poor ground, etc. When the problem is fixed the warning will turn itself off.
A reverse light bulb is not working.
A reverse light bulb is not working.
Either one of the bulbs is not working in the rear, or there is high resistance in one of the circuits.
A reverse light bulb is not working.
replace the burnt out bulb
Sounds like the low tire pressure indicator. I would describe it like a hurricane lamp with an upside down candle inside. Thank you very much for the answer, I appreciate that very much! Happy holidays!
Answer...maybe Hey man, I don't know if they'd be the same after all this time, but my taillights in my 1988 Jeep Cherokee use 2057s, take out one of your working bulbs, and check the number written on the metal part. Or just bring the bulb to your local parts store, that's the easiest. The above answer contains some good advice on identifing auto lamp bulbs but is incorrect as to Brake Light Bulbs used in 1998. According to the 1989 Jeep Factory Service Manual (Electrical), All models of Jeeps of that year, (except, the Wrangler and the Grand Wagoneer), specified (2) Rear Stop/Tail Lamps Type 2057. The Front Park/Turn Lamps used (2) Type 2057NA, (Natural Amber), and the Rear Turn Signal Lamps used (2) Type 1156. The Wrangler used the same (2) Type 2057NA Front Park/Turn Signal Lamps, but instead used (2) combined Rear Stop/Tail/Turn Lamps Type 1157. The Grand Wagoneer used (4) Type 1157 for both Front and Rear Stop/Turn/Park Lamps and also used (2) additional rear Tail Lamps Type 1156. The Type 1156 Lamp has a single lighting element and was also used in the (2) Backup Lights of all models of that tear. (All other Lamps mentioned above are of the Duel Element type). After realizing that the year in question was 1998, not 1989 I did did an online search and found the answer to the actual question is a Type 3157.

Not sure if you would notice this, but the same thing drove me crazy with my '94 JGK, finally noticed just ONE of the two rear window mounted brake lights was out. Not noticeable when driving because it's shielded somewhat by the interior plastic cover and it's twin is still noticeably working. Happened to see the wife apply the brakes while driving away or would never have thought to look there. Just a thought and .
Check the rear license plate light.
You have to find and repair the problem in the rear lighting circuit. It could be a blown bulb, a bad ground, a broken wire, etc.
most likely it is the high mount rear brake light. Open hatch and you will see where to remove the screw to access the bulb.
Rear lamp? Oh, I dunno ... maybe you need to turn around and look? A lamp isn't that hard to find ...

Rear lighting: Tail/Stop Lamp
it means a brake-lamp bulb has burned out
The brake light failure sensor on a 1997 Acura 2.2 cl is located on the rear of the car. It is on the back of the left rear lamp assembly.
Hard to see, but on my 96 Jeep Gr Cherokee there are two small screws next to each lamp on the outside.
Remove two rear lamp bolt/screws from rear license lamp. Remove lacense lamp from rear bumper fascia. Remove license lamp bulb and socket from rear license lamp. Replace bulb and install using reverse procedure.
The brake light failure sensor is located at the back of the left rear lamp assembly behind the trunk liner. It is a square circuit board about 2" x 2" connected by a wire pigtail to the main left rear brake and running lights.
I assume you are referring to the "Service Engine" read out on the center display on the lower dash. I'll give a more exact answer the next time I'm in my 1997 Jeep Laredo, but there are two buttons on the display. Press and hold one of them to reset the "miles till service" countdown to 3000, 6000 or 9000 (I think). Kind of like setting a car clock. Hope this points you in the right direction.
