Default New from CA and need help!

Hi my name is Amy, I'm from Huntington Beach, CA. I have been on this site before to gain information and decided I would sign up because I need help! I have a 98 jeep Cherokee and the left rear running light will not work. Changed bulbs and still nothing. If any one has any suggestions or tips I would appreciate it! Thanks so much!

Welcome to our forum.

I suggest starting a thread specifically for your issue in OEM Tech, as that is the appropriate sub forum. You will get more answers that way, and I wont have to clean up after you.

You posted this in 'Introductions' and typically the section is meant for Introducing yourself, not problem solving.

corrosion in the socket or damaged wiring would be my bet ...

As stated above check for corrosion in the socket. Then get a voltage meter and check for voltage at the socket. If none present, follow the wiring and look for breaks/damage.

HI Amy, welcome to the site. If you do not have one buy a test light at the auto parts store and see if the socket has juice going to it, if it does not then test the wire before the socket to see if it have electrical current going to it with the lights on.

That may help you to pinpoint the issue. Hope this helps yah out.

Tony
