What is your question?
10/8/25, my Jeep wouldn't start. It didn't make any sounds like it' was even trying to turn over? And I also have been having brake light issues. Drivers side brake light doesn't come on when brake pedal is pressed & when lights are on I have a tail light that is until I go to stop & press the brake pedal, then that tail light disappears, and still no brake light? And the turn signal & reverse lights DO work! The passenger side works fine w everything. I changed brake light fuse and even one that said stop light too. I even bought a tail light assembly at O'Reilly, but it didn't seem to work at all or fit right, so put the old one back one, the bulbs didn't even work w the new assembly? I did replaced the brake light bulb too, did it before I did the fuses. And now w this new not turning over issue, head lights still come on, but no radio and my power windows won't work. I had a 98 Tam 1500 for 19yrs & never had as many problems as I have had with this Jeep. Please help! Thank you.

Hello, I’m Pete from the Car Genius team at RepairPal. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this concern on your Jeep Liberty. Based on the information provided it sounds like there may be multiple concerns occurring. First with the brake light concern, that issue can be caused by a fault with a loose or poor ground for the brake light system. With a poor ground for the brake light system or any of the exterior lights, that will cause odd light behavior like what you are experiencing now. The no start concern combined with the loss of some of the electronics in your vehicle can be caused by multiple different things ranging from a failing electronic ignition switch, a fault with one of the computers especially the TIPM computer itself, a wiring concern, or even a fuse panel concern. All of these should be checked into and diagnosed properly to pinpoint the components creating these concerns so they can then be repaired correctly from there. I recommend a reputable repair facility to look into these issues. If you’d like to find a trusted, certified repair shop in your area, you can check here: https://repairpal.com/certified.
