Hi, All.

I have a 1998 Cherokee Classic with 210K miles. I was pulled over by the police this morning because I have a tail light out (passenger side). The weird thing is that the brake light on the same side works. I'm trying to troubleshoot it myself but I'm kind of new to this and I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Its got more then one bulb in it,Most cars have two lights a tail light and a stop light which is why the tail lights get brighter when you stop.Just replace the burned out light bulb its easy and any parts store has them just look up the bulb number in their book by them.

I checked the bulb. Both filaments are fine. Just to make sure I put a new bulb in. Still didn't work.

Take a test light see if it has power inside the socket if not then does it outside the socket,If not keep going tell you find power then replace whatever is broken.
