THE TAIL LIGHT ON MY SUV 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS FAILED TWICE. I FIRST NOTICED THE FAILURE SHORTLY PRIOR TO A CAR ACCIDENT IN EARLY 2006. WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR PLACE FOR DAMAGES FROM THE ACCIDENT, I ALSO PAID OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE TAIL LIGHT ISSUE FIXED. THE BACK TAIL LIGHT,ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WOULD EITHER BE FAINTLY LIT OR NOT LIGHT AT ALL WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CAR REPAIR SHOP RELAXED THE PART NEEDED, WHICH WAS AT THE STEERING WHEEL HEAD LIGHT SWITCH. IT WORKED FINE AFTER THE REPLACEMENT FOR ABOUT 7 MONTHS, BEFORE FAILING AGAIN, WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS. *JB
JEEP HEADLAMP LIGHTER/DIMMER SWITCH STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN PULLING SWITCH OUT, HEADLAMPS WOULD NOT RELIABLY TURN ON. ORDERED A NEW SWITCH. WHEN REPLACING SWITCH, NOTICED THAT HEADLAMP LIGHTER/DIMMER SWITCH PLASTIC ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WAS MELTED. *JB
WATER ENTERED THE STEERING COLUMN THROUGH THE HAZARD SWITCH (LEAK CAUSED BY FACTORY TOP DESIGN) AND SHORTED THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH USED TO CONTROL BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, AND HEADLIGHTS. THE SHORT CAUSED A SMALL FIRE AND MELTDOWN OF THE SWITCH. THE SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. *JB
