Welcome back:

They are working? Did you do anything that may have led to them working? If they are working, you may want to leave well enough alone. LOL

Let me know,
Joe

No. My taillights are both working, and the directional's, even though fuse #23 has no power to it. Still no brake lights. I'm needing to know where is the source of power to 23 supposed to be.

According to the schematic, it comes from fuse 2 of the junction box. However, take a look at the picture. If there was not power from fuse 2 (40 amp) many other things would not work. I highlighted the supply. I have a feeling the box itself has failed or melted internally for fuse 23. Take a look at the pic and let me know your thoughts. You may have to disconnect the battery and remove this fuse box to inspect it from the underside.

Since none of them are working I would check and adjust the BOO switch aka. Brake on/off switch

just because it goes out of park doesnt mean its good as the wiriengs inside a separate and sometimes each part will go out.

Brakes problem
2000 Jeep Cherokee 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

The bulbs and the fuses are good; the car will go into gear by pushing the brakes; but the brake lights still won't work. Do you know what could be erong with the car?

Does the high mounted center brake light works? If not check and test the brake switch.

I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee and I changed the brake light on my Jeep and it still does not work. I have no brake lights on my vehicle and have tested the fuses and they all seem to be fine. What could possibly be the problem with the brake lights?

If it the same lights as the turn signals it may be the turn signal switch that is bad. Use a test light to be sure that the brake light switch is passing power through it when the brakes are applied, if so the TSS is most likely the problem, but only if it uses the same bulbs as the brake lights.

Does the thrid brake light come on when brakes on with lights on?

Check out the brake light switch to see whats what. Could be bad bulbs also causing feedback. Check those first and get back to me
