Best Answer

Assuming you have replaced the bulbs with no joy and the fuses are good, your problem may be linked to the Neutral Start Switch on the side of the transmission. This switches on that circuit when the transmission in in reverse. Many times the contacts inside it become worn or dirty. It can be disassembled cleaned and re lubed or simply replaced. Hope this helps.

Which fuse is for the backup lights for a 2002 Grand Cherokee The backup lights do not work and the bulbs are fine. I can not find which fuse is for those lights.?

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.


How do you replace the backup switch on a 1989 Jeep Cherokee or what else could be the cause of intermittent backup lights?

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.


What would cause the fuse for the brake lights to blow every time you put the car in drive?

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.


Are 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo prewired for fog lights?

No.No.


All your brake lights on your 2005 jeep grand Cherokee went out at the same time?

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.

Where is the backup light switch located on a 1991 Jeep Cherokee Manual doesnt show location?

The switch that turns on the backing lights also ensures that the vehicle can only be started in "Park" or "Neutral". It is located on the transmission housing. In many cases the switch can be removed, the contacts cleaned and the part replaced.

How do you fix your reverse lights on your 1997 Cherokee Country with good bulbs?

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 fuse for the overdrive trans and backup lamps is a 10 amp fuse located in position number 27. If it is blown you will also have no backup lights.
