Jeep Grand Cherokee.
All bulbs are working but brake lights do not light up when braking. What is the problem??

Check the fuse. Running lights and brake lights likely run on different circuits.

Check the brake light switch. Many are famous for disintegrating over time, either plastic or rubber bumpers that actuate the switch at the pedal arm.

If the brake switch is gone out, the break lights will stay on.

You check the break fluid?

About to check brake switch. Thanks for responses.

Did you check the bulbs as well? Could be a rare coincidence that the filaments went out on only the brake lights.
Assuming it is a dual filament bulb or even seperate bulbs.

Thank you for trying to get that fixed. So many people riding around BR with broke arse brake lights.

Not always true. Depends on whether the cars switch is normally closed or open.
It varies by manufacturer/make of vehicle.

Sets you up for lawsuit money. Go for it.

I have an X5 and had to extract both lights due to oxidation. Soldered the holes and they both are working. Could be the same issue as what you have. I'll try and find you the link

I found your problem.

What year model is it? If is it an older model the Grand Cherokee is notorious for this. You need to replace the little sockets that the bulbs go in. It is a piss poor design.

The problem is fixed. There was a large amount of corrosion on the fuse. Once it was cleaned everything worked. Thanks for the responses
