The fuse is not blown, and I have also replaced it. And the bulb is not burnt out either.

Your problem is in te combination switch (the light switch that turns the lights on). Replace it and it should be happy again.

SOURCE: power windows dont work and dome light stays on

It has to be a broken wire! Initially, I lost the door locks & power to the windows ONLY when the drivers door was open. When I closed the door, the problem went away. Finally, I had the problem all the time. I checked for 12 vdc at the switch in the drivers door and there was NO POWER. In the rubber boot (between the car & door) I found the grey wire (with a pink stripe) was broken internally but the INSULATION WAS NOT!!!

SOURCE: 1993 jeep grand cherokee limited no running lights/tail lights.

Id look at the headlight switch and do some voltage tests to see whats coming out of there. Pay close attention to any wires which look like someone was in there already.People can mess stuff up faster and better than the vehicle can by itself!

SOURCE: brake lights dont work

Check the brake light switch, it is down on the brake pedal lever, you can dis-connect the wire connector at the brake light switch and check for broken wires at the connector, and then jumper the connector with a paper clip, if the brake lights come on then replace your brake light switch.

There might be more than one switch attached to the brake light pedal lever, the brake light switch usually only has two wires going to it when there are two switches.

If there is no problem with the brake light switch then you can suspect the turn-signal switch to be at fault, as all of the running lights, turn-signals, brake lights, and hazard lights are all ran through the turn-signal switch. You can also try stepping on the brake pedal and wiggle around the turn-signal switch and see if the brake lights flicker or come on.

I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee and both tailights do not work. The back turn signals do work. Is it a fuse or the bulbs? If it is a blown fuse, which fuse would I need to get to replace the blown...

could be a fuse or bulb look in your manual that came with your vehicle or when you pull down the cover it could also show which one to pull when you pull it if its not busted or burnt out then possible of your bulbs but for both to go out at once then probaly gonna be your fuse and which ever fuse you pull would be the exact size to put back in that location

I have a 2002 jeep cherokee. the interior light stop working.

Perhaps the bulb has failed. This is more likely and is much easier than messing with wires. If you don't know which fuse it is, try looking at all of them and it should be an amber color 7.5 amp, and possibly but unlikely a red 10 amp fuse. There is no need to remove any, shine a flashlight at the fuse as they are "see through"to check if any in your kick panel (where your feet rest) or next to the battery have blown. You will see an open circuit meaning there is a break in the circuit. If they all look seviceable then take out the dome bulb and inspect it. does it look like the wires or filament has failed. Does it look black or smokey like it has blown? If so, keep the bulb to get a replacement from an auto parts store or if you must the dealer.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

If the bulb is still good but doesn't work then check for a blown fuse for that item.
Don't know exactly where the fuse box is on that model.
