Recently my 2017 Jeep Patriot started having some very odd electrical issues. My left rear brake and turn signal light is not working, rear running lights not working including the third brake light, when lights are turned on interior night lights for the center console do not light up. I have changed the left rear bulb and turn/brake connector, and this did not help the issue. Any ideas on what could be causing these weird issues?

Another thing to check is the bulb socket and wiring. Both of my rear turn/brake light sockets melted enough to not work. I had to cut off the old ones and solder on new ones. Then I switched to LED bulbs so the cheap sockets wouldn't melt again.
