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
Parking brake is on, Brake fluid is low, Hydraulic failure of the brake system.
Then the brake lights are out but the middle one still lights up. (:
Something you may not realise is that the brake light bulb is often one bulb with two elements. One of the elements will be for the brake and the other will be for the tail lighting for example so,when tested, the actual bulb will still light up because the second element is unaffected. Make sure that the 'blown' bulb that you are actually changing is not in fact your fog lamp. This will not automatically light up when you test your lights as you have to operate this light separately (similarly to indicator lights). So the fog lamp bulb will appear to be the only one not lit up when you test your lights. Find the bulb with two elements inside and change that one. Sounds obvious (and may be obvious to many) but it's a common mistake. Hope this helps!.

Take your toe and pick UP on the brake pedal. The brake pedal may not be returning as it should.
Well, if current is flowing it usually lights up.
Incandescence of a finely coiled tungsten wire.
It is the thing that lights up when power is switched on.
Replace the brake lamp (the one on the right that doesn't go on). Go to a local autoparts store to buy the bulb (usually not more than a few dollars). They might even help you replace it. If it was just a burnt-out bulb, the brake lamp light on the dash should go out once the bulb is working again.
The potato lamp works because the acid in the potato lights up the light bulb.
