Brake Light doesn't work after changing bulb?

I have a 2001 jeep GC and the brake light does not work. My signal lights work and when backing up the light works fine. I%26#039;ve changed the bulb and even bought a new bulb holder because the old one had some corrosion and i have the same problem. Any ideas what could be the problem. Will i have to replace the entire lighting fixture to fix the problem?|||you need to test the systen





possible fuse or brake light switch or even turnsignal switch





buy a test light less thain $10 and start probing|||check fuse|||probably the brake light switch.check for power at the switch connector where the wires connect.one should have constant power and the other should not.push the brake pedal and you should have power on both terminals.if not the switch is bad|||If some of the lights work then you probably don%26#039;t need to change the light assembly. My first guess would be a burnt out fuse. Look for the fuse box and remove the cover. Usually on the inside of the cover it will have a diagram for all the fuses and you can find the one for the brake lights. Some vehicles have relays that are fried and these may be under the hood. Just look for a black box which contains electrical relays and other fuses. The last thing I can think of is a switch that is right above the brake pedal. When you apply the brake a small plastic or metal extends and this is what makes your brake light come on.





It is similar to the ones located on the doors of your car. When you open the door, the interior lights come on and when you close the doors the lights go out. Same principle. Good Luck!|||check fuses in fuse panel? also check flasher under dash?? se if it bad...make sure you clean off corrosion on area with a shape knife clean metal area should appear..|||Look at your switch which is at the upper end of the brake pedal. It is an easy fix if it is your problem!!
