Re: 1998 Jeep Wrangler Right Break Light Not working
 

Hi Jorge,
Check the brake light switch up where the pedal lever joins the push
rod, wiggle it with your hand and have a spotter see if the lights then
work. Use a voltmeter to see if you have power to the switch, then out on
compression.

Re: 1998 Jeep Wrangler Right Break Light Not working
 

Wouldn't a failure at the brake light switch put both brake lights out,
not just the righthand one?

Re: 1998 Jeep Wrangler Right Break Light Not working
 

Mike, thanks so much.. I checked out the screws yesterday holding the
tail [brake] light to the body after work and, sure enough, they were
rusty and were the root of the problem. After a little WD-40 cleanup
and jiggling the screws with a wrench the tail light became way more
luminous. After I fixed the right one I noticed that the left was
also very dim (which I couldn't tell before) and proceeded to fix that
one as well!

Now my Jeep is fixed and safer on the highway. Thanks again!
