Jeep Cherokee driver side parking light, and rear tail light went out. Changed bulbs, and it didnt fix it!?

both lights went out at the same time, I changed the bulbs and they still dont work.. Is there a fuse that could be causing this?

Possibly a broken ground wire. A fuse is not set to each side of the vehicle but the system it is tied to. Had a bad ground on my truck ( I broke installing hitch ) and it caused plate light to die and rear turn signals to not work. Just fixed that and lights worked great

yes, check the fuse box either under the hood, or under the dash board
Sounds like a fuse went out or a wire has a short. Check your fuse box. Once you find it (usually in the most inconvenient place possible), pull a fuse at a time. If the wire is solid all the way across, it's a good fuse. If there is a gap, the fuse is blown and you need a new one.
If you don't have an owner's manual, you can download one online. The manual will list the location of all the fuses.
Jeep running lights are all on the same fuse, so if the fuse was dead they would all be dead.



However you didn't mention the year. Jeeps before 1998 or so all have bulbs which have the nasty %26quot;bulb grease%26quot; on them. Did you get any of that into the socket? Also twist-lock sockets are a pain to get the bulbs seated in correctly. Try seating it (again) if you found a burnt out bulb.
