SOURCE: 1998 jeep grand cherokee limited fog lights don't work.

This means you have a short. I am assuming you are talking about the fog light fuse. Does this fuse blow whether the fog lights are off? or just when turned on?

If the fuse blows when the switch is off the switch is bad too. If the fuses only blows when the switch is turned on you have a short in the wiring or bulb.

I don't know if you have test equipment so first I would say to remove both driving bulbs from their sockets and see if there is corrosion. Fix that problem if there is corrosion.

Then install a fuse without the bulbs and see if the fuse blows. If you have a test light you can bridge the fuse panel without putting a fuse in. If there is a connection you have a hot wire grounding. If there is no problem install one light, fuse or bridge the fuse holder and see if 1 light works. Try each side. This way you can isolate the problem. Then visibly inspect wiring.

My license plate lights are out on my 97 grand cherokee limited all the fuses are good and i replaced the bulbs, everything is good as far as the connections just dont know whats going on. can some one...

The lights are on the same circuit with the side marker lights. So if those work, and you don't have power at the lic plate sockets, somethings going on with the wiring harness in the back of the truck.
If you have power the ground circuit may be damaged.

Back up lights and license plate light doesn't work.

Reverse lights are activated by a small switch on the transmission. Usually located on the passenger side of the vehicle with a small rubber cap over the switch, Your plate light bulbs are probably in need of replacement, and have nothing to do with the reverse lights.
