2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Logo
Anonymous Posted on Aug 19, 2011

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Brake lights, turn signals, flashers all work correctly. However, no tail lights. Have replaced bulbs, but still no results. What could be the issue? No indication in owners manual of tail light fuses.

    Per last response- all bulb sockets, i.e. tali lights & side marker lights? Parking lights work but with flashers only. Owners manual doesn't show any fuses for tail light or parking light assemblies. Thanks. Please advise how to "up" ratings and I'll gladly do that.

If you have side marker lights then you have a short between them and the tail light sockets, its the same circuit , you need a meter to check this, remove one tail light bulb,, put the black lead to the base of the bulb holder, and the red lead to the little dab of solder inside the bulb socket, if your show 12v ,, then its the bulb , if not,, the socket isn't getting power and you need to back track the short or broken wire, ( make sure that the lights are on when doing this test ) normally the problem will be found where the wires in the harness come into the trunk area, or its just a bad ground,, so check that first

    Need to know if parking lights are also on same circuit. Front flashers ok, but no parking lights or side marker lights function.

    you should have a fuse that states tail lights, I don't have your exact fuse box diagram, but I'll see if I can run it down, the front ones would say parking lights and be a separate fuse, Please up my rating as a 2 thumbs up means I haven't assisted you according to your question, thanks ,, I'll see if my friend with a Jeep cherokee has a book for his ,

    ok, he said he had the same problem, this is how he fixed the issue ,, remove the socket that holds the bulb,, you will see 3 chrome contacts on the assembly ,, the one that sits by itself is the ground,, heat warps that wire, and the plastic doesn't help,, he took a very small flat head screw driver, and very gently pried up on that contact ,, (I'd check them all ) he replaced the bulb and everything worked after that

If you have any extra fuses, try replacing the ones for the head lights and tail lights. Make sure the fuses you replace are the same color as the ones you replace them with, that way the voltages are the same. Another issue is that a flasher could be going out.

2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee..tail ligts and blinkers do not work when headlights are on..they work otherwise..another problem when headlights or running lights are on and I use left blinker, it blinks...

mporteous, It sounds like you have a light switch problem. I can't think of any other reason for the running lights and tail lights not working in this situation. Are your brake lights working when the headlights are off and how about when they are on? Do your four ways hazard lights work in these situations? Try all the lights under these conditions. The reason the left turn signal blinks very fast is because one of the bulbs are burned out. Try the left signal and one light (front or back) will stay on and the other will not come on at all. Replace the bulb that does nothing. Do this before you try all the lights in different situations. I think that you will have to replace the light switch. Good luck with this.

Check the fuses as well as the wiring near the tail light.

If all seems good, get a cheap multimeter and check the voltage in the wires that go to the tail light (red probe on one wire and black probe on the other). If you get a reading about 12 Volts (or -12 depending on which wires the black and red are on) the problem is the tail light or bulb itself.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I had blinkers and flashers no brake lights, and after checking the bulbs in the light itself I dont have blinkers or flashers at all

Just no turn signals in the back now? Maybe didn't install the bulbs tight back into the asm? No brake lights...do the lights work with headlights on and just no illumination with the brake pedal depressed? Could be brake light switch.
