It's as though that all of the local parts stores do not carry a brake light sockets for the Cherokee ,mine has a short ,I'm able to use the brake light but the rest of the light will not light up when the lights are turned on unless I move it in a certain position ..any ideas ?

 

Start hitting the junkyards. I've already seen a lot of them cut out rather than taking the whole harness. Also tail light housings gone. It really burns me when I see the wire bundle cut completely where it goes into the grommet!

 

Yeah thats pretty screwed up !! i've seen on this thread that someone found a replacement at o'reillys that is supposed to fit a ford but he did not include a part number ..i alled and it has a 1157 bulb instead of the 2057 bulb i might take chance on that one ,whats good is the brake light works though ..

 

The 2057 is just a brighter 1157. I used them in my 87 Chevy truck. Funny, my 2000 uses 3157 wedge-base bulbs. I just replaced them with LEDs, but I left the turn signals stock.
