Hello my jeep overlords,

any tricks or things I should know?

If someone could post a cliffnotes walk thru Id be eternally greatfull

Same happened to me, turned out that the base was not touching to the holder, i jus screw it in more, just have to take out the screws and the whole thing comes out, i believe it was the 2nd or third bulb down not sure, jus pull out the bulb to see if its burnt out, if it is replace and if not jus make sure it makes contact, well thats how my 88 is, not sure if its the same set up.

Check the bulb and if it is bad replace it. If it is good and making good contact then you might check the ground. If it needs an extra ground then find a place and wire in a second ground. Not too complicated!!

she just called...how do you PHYSICALLY get to the blub, she looked at her jeep and cant figure it out

studmuffin

well physically you have to look for a screw driver and look for the screws that hold the tail light in, lol. its easy jus take out the screws and the whole tail light comes out its like a rectangular box, check which one is the bad bulb or jus inspect each one, each bulb comes right out. like blue said if nothing works it could be a bad ground or no ground at all.
Piece of cake, let us know what happens.

x2 but missed a step: open the hatch

Yeah, open the hatch and you will see the mounting screws for the tailight.

More than likely the wiring is OK, the bulb just burned out.
