A loose or corroded ground wire will cause the fuse to blow. Check the ground wires on your brake lights.


Why don't the left side running lights work on my 2000 Cherokee sport?

If the right side lights are working and all left side lights are out, its as simple as this: Electricity is not reaching the bulbs. Use a volt meter (with the lights on) and check a bulb socket. if there's around 12 volts registering on the meter, then you have power to the light socket and the bulb(s) is/are bad. If there is no power to the socket, that sucks because now you have a wiring issue to chase down. This should be a relatively simple repair as long as u have a volt meter.

Why don't the fog lights work on a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport?

i had the same problem with my jeep. it ended up being the switch, but there are many other problems that can cause your fog lights to not operate properly. check first to make sure they are not burnt out. then i'd check all your connectors to make sure there is no corrosion and that they are making good contact. next step is to put a meter on it and see if you are getting power to the lights. if not you've obviously got an open or a short in your wiring somewhere. check for a broken wire, faulty switch, etc.

What would cause the brake lights in a 95 civic to never come on even though the tail lights work and the fuses are good?

There may be a cut in the wire(s). You will need a Digital Volt Meter to test the wire(s) at your brake light. There is a switch that is actuated when you apply pressure to the brake pedal. If the switch is malfunctioning your lights won't come on.


Is it cheaper to turn off fluroescent lights or leave them on?

It is cheaper to turn lights off. You can check by having one person outside at the electric meter. See what happens when you turn off the florescent lights. See what happens when you turn them on. Does the meter speed up? If is speeds up does it speed up more than enough to make up for the time the lights were off? Write it up for a science project.

What would cause my brake lights not to work if not the switch or fuse?

- Damaged or burnt wiring - Bad or corroded earth connection in the brake lamp cluster - Failed bulbs. (although it's unlikely that all your brake lights have blown) You can use a meter and a volunteer to check that power is reaching the bulb holder. If power is reaching the bulbs and they are working, then a bad earth connection may be the cause. Corrosion around the lamp cluster is a common cause of this. There may be problems with the other lights if the vehicle has a shared lamp cluster At any rate, it wouldn't do any harm to let a vehicle electrician take a look
