there will be three things to check, first your fuses, they are located under the dash on the drivers side, and there is a fuse box under the hood. the 15 amp fuse under the hood in plug 27 is the fuse for the brake lights. if the fuse checks good will need to check the brake light switch on the brake pedal.
check the fuse for the brake lights, they have thier own. also check the brake light switch at the at the top of the brake petal
check your fuses
replace the lamp socket they short in a strange way, it happened to me 3x. the socket carbonized from bulb heat
try unscrewing the back light covers and replacing the lights
replace fuse and hazard flasher
The only thing that will work with key OFF is the brake lights,head lights and emergency flashers. Dome light will also work.
The tail lights and the stop lights work off of different circuits. The stop lights work when the brake pedal is depressed while the tail lights work when the light switch is turned on. Look for a burnt fuse or a bad connection.
Console lights and brake lighting are on different circuits (Fused seperately). Check the following: bulbs, bases, corroded connections, poor ground, blown fuses, faulty light switch.
brake relay or sensor
Check the bulbs in case they have fused, next check the fuse, and finally it could be the brake light switch which may need replacing
Bulbs may be burnt out.
Yes. They work fine if the lights are off (ie. during the daytime) but when the lights are on all the brake lights are off. Our Grand Cherokee has tons of problems. The ac sometimes does not work, the gauges go crazy, the power windows play dead sometimes. We got it checked out. Mechanic says our body control module is going bad.
