I've got a 2010 Jeep Liberty Sport. The left brake light does not work, however the bulb works when the vehicle's headlights are on. Both the third brake light and the right brake lights work as intended. I can assume this is an electrical problem since the bulb works, but does not work when the brake is pressed. I have not tried anything as of yet to fix this because I would like to get solid advice before I spend money trying various fixes. Any information to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That is if brake lights are same lens and bulb as directional not a separate amber lens for directional. Most likely just a bulb or lousy connection - perhaps bad socket? Use bulb grease. If you want just swap the bulb with the other side that works if questioning either bulb or socket but if you find the bulb bad and believe those to be originals do both side. If an amber directional in rear check it anyway but that should mean single filaments and wouldn't likely be intermittent. I ask about color or directional as some vehicles are required to use amber not red for the directional depending on where it was made for new, T acoleman New User Sep 26, 2013, 9:39 AM Post #3 of 4 (1302 views) Re: 2010 Jeep Liberty - Left Brake Light Not Working Sign In Thanks for the reply. This Jeep has an amber directional and just basic red for standard night time safety and a brighter red for braking. Swapping the bulbs sounds like a great idea... don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place I will try this first as the brighter brake lights were working before but not now. Could just be a bulb issue. I will reply back with my findings. Thanks!

Most would be a double filament. Check for sure but it shows this is the very most likely replacement........ Can't know all, some are a pest to get to?
