Brake LIGHTS FOR 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED

Check what else is on the fused supply and replace the fuse if faulty.
Could be a common problem.

have you checked the relays.there is one relay in the fuse box up under the dash on the drivers side and the is other relay in the fuse box in the kick panel on the passengers side next to the blower motor. I drive a 1997 leep grand cherokee myself for work

It will be either the cigar lighter fuse or the interior lights fuse. You should have power at all times to terminal 16 of the connector. See diagram.

Hope this helps you ?

I think this indicates that you have an exterior light out. Check the tail lights, brake lights and the three bulbs that are mounted at the top of the rear window.

Sounds like your brake light switch needs to be replaced.  It is attached to the brake pedal and should cost you around $20 from an auto parts store.  If the fuses and bulbs are good there is a 99% chance it is the brake light switch.  Hope this helps!  Thanks for an honest rating and for using FixYa.

Hi,I am sorry to say that if you need instructions for a job as safety related as this you should not be doing it.Sorry,but my family and friends use the same streets as you!

Id look at the headlight switch and do some voltage tests to see whats coming out of there. Pay close attention to any wires which look like someone was in there already.People can mess stuff up faster and better than the vehicle can by itself!

hmm interesting have you done any wiring to the lights at all?

If that many things went out at the same time its most likely a fuse issue. There are usually 2 fuse panels in the Jeep - one under the hood and one by the steering column. Check the proper fuses to see if they blew out and replace if needed.
