I looked at info for 99 jeep Cherokee. You can see the fuse and the stop lamp switch, which should be activated by the brake pedal arm when you step on the brake. The white wire with tan tracer carries voltage for rear brake lamps. The ground wire is black, so check voltage and ground. I don't know if all models have the same wire color, you didn't post the model?
Pretty much universal is the color coding on vehicle lights. Brown, or another color with a brown tracer/stripe, is always the running lights. You wont see an all brown wire on these newer vehicles. Always another color with the proper color tracer. Brown=run & tail-tag lights, green is right turn and brake light, yellow is left turn and brake light, and black is the ground wire to the lights. Inside cab and under dash, You need look closer for these colored tracers.all ground wires are white. This is what I've found.
Hi, the easiest way to tell is by the signal wire color. These are the signal wire colors:
right front: dark blue/pink stripe
left front: dark blue/light blue stripe
right rear: Brown
left rear: dark blue/yellow stripe
DONT CUT WIRES! Go to your local parts store and purchase an inline adapter.there is a plug(inline)at rear driver side, unplug,install new adapter,supplied info w/adapter will tell you the rest.
Don't bother with a schematic...they all differ. Use a simple test light and just probe the rear light harness with everything turned off except for the brake lights, only one wire should show power. You can also check the color of the wire coming directly out of the bulb socket. I own a jeep, can read and draw wiring diagrams and have yet to find a diagram that has the same color coding as my vehicle.
Easiest way to do this is to purchase an in-expensive test light from your autoparts store, the kind that clips to a ground and has a sharp end and a light. Clip the wire onto a frame bolt then turn the taillights on. Probe the wires coming from the light assembly until the tester lights up. You cand do the same thing for each function, just do them one at a time (blinker left, blinker right, brake, ect..)
Hope this helps :)
You have a broken wire to the turn/brake light portion of the light as they use the same wire. Or where the plug goes into the light assy could be bad. Torsion mount lights are horrible and you should think about replacing with a universal light that you can wire direct.
