How to remove and replace tail light assembly on 2003 jeep grand cherokee. There's one screw behind the rear quarter panel to complete the removal process of the tail light assembly. How do I remove that panel?
Re: How to remove and replace tail light assembly on 2003...
There is 2 screws located on the side when you open your tail gate by the tail light. remove these 2 screws and pull the tail light out and disconnect the wire connector. Hope this helps.

Simple.. open the hatch. You'll see 2 screws on the inside of the lens, remove them. Now pull the lens assembly out slowly. No need to remove the wire connector. You'll see 3 caps, simply twist the one containing the bulb you need to replace. Reverse order for re-installation.
Try removing the hitch first if it's a factory hitch. There should be three nuts on either side.
Check tor two 8mm screws inside the rear wheel well bolting the bumper to the quarter panel where they meet on the side. There might be a clip under each tail light.Then remove the plastic clips and slide it straight back.
open the lift gate. look on the side that you are taking off. there should be two phillips head screws holding on a small bracket. remove them. next gently pull on the tail light assembly. once loose unplug the wiring harness and you are done. installation is reverse of removal.
Traced the problem to the Lamp Outage Module located in the rear left quarter access panel behind the spare tire. Arcing had occurred on the left taillight line. Fortunately this part is readily available at your local Jeep recovery yard (none available in the U.S. from dealers). Recommend J& W Auto Wreckers in Antelope, CA (web site available). Massive number of Jeeps and fair prices. If you don't want to replace the LOM then you can join the two connectors that go into the LOM (LOM is optional) but you'll always show a lamp failure on your console.
Remove screws for lens. You may have to access them from inside the hatch. Then pull out lens, then turn and pull out bulb and socket, Push and turn then pull bulb out.
OPEN HATCH AND REMOVE TWO SCREWS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE BODY PANEL FACING THE TAIL LIGHT. GENTLY PULL THE LIGHT BACKWARDS UNTIL THE WHOLE LENS AND LIGHT FIXTURE COME OUT FROM THE BODY. UNSCREW THE SOCKET AND REPLACE THE BULB. I HOPE THIS HELPS. THANKS FOR USING FIX-YA.
Open up the hatch and look for the screws that hold the tail light assembly to the body. After removing them you can gently pull the whole tail light from the truck. You will seee the sockets that the bulbs are in and they twist like a bottle cap to get to the bulb. Just pull the bulb from the socket and reverse what you did to put it back together.
