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.

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

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!
