intermitten problems are the worst to figure out i would first start by changing the bulbs then i would change the wiring harness. i know i had a car that when the tail lights were on the blinkers wouldn't work and it turned out to be a short in the harness.
I would check the wires just behind the light. I had the same problem and the wires were broken a little just wiggle them as the lights are on.
Check the circuitry to the backup lights. The same fused circuit is probably used for both brake lights and backup lights. As you go past Reverse, the backup light probably is turned on briefly, causing the fuse to blow. It's just a thought, but I'd think it worth checking.
If dash and parking lights do not work - check the fusesMay also be a bad headlight switchThe tail lights and brake lights on my 2002 would not work at the same time. Had to replace whole tail light assembly. Was told problems with jeeps-the circuit boards in older jeeps overheat and short out.
replace fuse
No.No.
how do you replace backup lights on 99 grand am?

Replace the neutral safety switch on the trans, it also triggers the backup lights. You can try to remove, clean and adjust it first, it worked for me. It is located on the passengers side of the auto trans.
The cost depends on where you take the Jeep Cherokee to be fixed. There will be a cost for the lights and other supplies plus a charge for the labor.
Check Fuses, Replace Bulbs, Replace Shift Position Sensor. End of solution
replace fuse and hazard flasher
Reverse switch on trans. is, most-likely, broken or stuck on somehow. You need to check it and/or replace it.
Had the same problem with my GL. What I've heard is the back up blade in the shifting fork slips or falls out of line causing no contact when you shift into reverse. They have to replace reconnect thru transmission. 5 years without backup lights.
On the transmission lever there is a backup light switch which makes contact with the backup light circuit when you place the lever in R. The circuit then sends current to the backup lights and they come on. When you move the shift lever out of Reverse, the circuit is broken and the lights go out. The problem you probably have is a dirty swicth where the contacts meet from the lever to the switch. If the contacts are dirty, you will get intermittent current to the lights. So find the switch on the lever, use some rubbing alcohol to clean the contacts and it may fix it. If not, then your backup light switch may be going bad, but try cleaning the one you have before investing in a new one.
Typically this is a failure of the headlight switch assembly. See the question about how to replace the headlight switch in a 1991 Cherokee for the answer of how to accomplish.
It doesn't have any. The only C2 (1963-1967) with backup lights is the '67.
