I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. My driver side brake light does not work when the lights are on. When lights are turned off the brake light works fine. When the lights are on and when I press the brakes the one goes off completely (no tail light or brake light).
I have replaced the bulb and socket with the same results. If it's a fuse, how would I be able to tell? If it's not the fuse, what else could it be? Thanks.
2001 jeep grand cherokee left brake does not work period. I replaced bulb to no avail. the entire tail lamp assembly looked brown as though it heated up. However, the tail light, signal light and back-up lights still work. Please help.
Mike.
I think shortybbb is correct. I've traced the problem to the same area but, in my case, it's not the ground. It is the hot wire contact which is severely pitted. Rather than purchase another aftermarket tail light assembly, I am going to attempt another repair. This time, I intend to deposit solder on the contact or, perhaps, place a foreign object beneath the contact to hold it up. Since the contact is pitted, I will probably try the solder trick.
It could be your brake switch. Bad fuse? look for a burn mark.

First, I want to say thank you for the info, you saved me money and aggravation. Second it took mea little while to figure out what contact I was looking for. So I would like to provide a little more detail to make it easier for others in the future.
This is the corrective method for your brake lights not working when your headlights are on(2000 Jeep Cherokee Larado).
1) The cause of the problem is heat from the bulb.
2) Remove the light assembly as if you were going to change a bulb.
3) Turn the socket and remove it from the taillight assembly and set it aside(check to be sure your bulb is not burnt out).
4) Look at the opening, you will see 3 flat chrome colored contacts on the assembly.
5) Notice the one by it self at the top of the opening, that is the "ground".
6) If you look closely you will notice the plastic around the ground contact has shrunk a little bit, this caused the contact to pull away from the socket, causing the problem.
7) With a small flat head screwdriver, VERY GENTLY pry up the contact so it stays slightly upward by itself.
8) Re-insert the bulb assembly back into the housing and press your brake petal with your lights on.
9) You should be in good to go!
10) Tools: Phillips head screwdriver and a small flat head screwdriver.
11) Time : 5 minutes per light

I agree with shannongreer but also check on the swith at the back of the brake pedal. It's near the top of the pedal almost under the dash.

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.

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.
