rear lamp failure error message

[pkellymc]

Well, my intermittent problem with message turned chronic. After reading all the posts here, I checked my upper brake lamps; one of the three was out (bulb 191?). Replaced it but still got the error whenever I'd turn on the lights. Today, I had some free time so I pulled both rear corner light units. One of the top/outside mini-bulbs was out. I also pulled both license plate illumination lenses and both lamps were out. I went to Schucks and bought a package (each) of 168's and 194's, sorry but I forget which went where. I also pulled all the 56 and 57's and gave each base/socket a glob of dielectric grease. Donno which one(s) did the trick, but my REAR LAMP error no longer comes on when I turn on the lights. Hope this helps someone.

I had the same problem with my 93 JGC Ltd, found the problem with the wiring to the trailer hitch. Fixed that, Rear Lamp Failure went out....and has not returned since.

I received the "Rear Lamp Failure" message and the left High Mount Brake light was out.

I have a 94 JGC I am getting rear lamp failure. I have no backup lights. I already replaced the switch on the tranny repaired the connector. What else am I missing? The bulbs are good.
