Sorry forgot that part its a 1994 cherokee sport 4.o auto with the npg 231

 

Could be several things but I would start by cleaning the bulb socket with emery cloth and applying a light coat of dielectric grease to the bulb contacts. There is a Molex connector behind the driver's side rear quarter panel that links the front harness with the hatch. That connector is prone to corrosion due to moisture, I would separate the connector, clean, and apply dielectric grease to the contacts. You may also need to pre-tension the individual sockets by compressing the metal female receiver slightly with an awl or other pointy thing.

 

I would agree....my connectors were so corroded when I pulled them apart they just fell apart so I just wired in new connectors on both sides!!!

 

Gentlemen I just had they same problem with my 1990 . It had the metal bulb sockets . I am not an expert and don't know if this year has the metal sockets or not . But I solved my problem by putting in gm bulb sockets . The part number is line # cti part # 85822 from o reillys . They are plastic . Hope this might be of some help !
