Introduction

Passez à l'étape 1

To ensure the safety of drivers, it is important to have functioning brake lights. If the brake lights on your 2015 Jeep Patriot aren't illuminating and need to be replaced, use this guide to replace the lightbulb.

The purpose of a tail/ brake light is to make your car visible during nighttime and heavy weather conditions and to communicate to the driver behind you that you are slowing down or stopping. A broken tail/ brake light is dangerous to yourself and the drivers around you. You could also get pulled over and receive a citation if your tail light is out.

Before beginning the repair, park in a safe location, turn the car off and put the emergency brake on.
