I have a 2000 GC Laredo that I purchased a month ago. So I put new bulbs in it for the taillights bulb 3157. I replaced them all on both sides. Well now when I press the brake pedal the right side brake light bulb goes out. When I have the lights on the bulb works but again when I press the brake the bulb goes out completely. I am new to the forum and I would def appreciate any help. I got a 7 month old lil guy at home so taking my GC to the mechanic for everything is something I don't have the luxury of doing if I don't absolutely have to.

Thx for the advice. I bought extra bulbs and tried those as well. If I swap sockets will that tell me anything?? Excuse my questions if they seem stupid. When it comes to electrical issues I'm about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Thx againOriginally Posted by Turbo X_J
If it worked after the lamp change and not now, the bulb is fried. Socket may be suspect as well.

Look for melted plastic on the lamp housing or bulb socket that might be causing an open ground on that lamp. Pretty common problem on Jeeps.
