there is a flaw in the rear lense housing that allows for this to
happen....ur shorting out...there is a part in the lense that is easy to see
where the wiring meet with the bulbs...u can see it ... it melts inside
over time by heat of bulbs......sad thing is jeep doesnt offer it as a part
but comes as a whole with the lense only.....tried to get warrenty to cover
but no go cause the lense is a cosmetic part....dealership even couldnt
explain it to warrenty company......go to a junk yard or spend 150 on a new
whole lense unit....been there and forked over the bucks...u can check what
I am saying by hooking up your working side and see the results......2001
grand cherokee....yet still have a Merry Christmas and get it fixed so you
dont get pulled over....
