Please help. This taser has got the best to me.
Turn Cam used to turn off the license plate lights. Now it doesn’t. I’ve tried resetting, unmarrying, rebooting, firmware update, multiple sleep cycles… nothing. Anyone have a fix?

I don' think the light will turn off when turning left or right signal. It only works when you are reversing (backing up).

Unplug the tazer and then plug it back in. Every now and then I have to do this because mine will stop working.

Mine also stops working once in a while. Rather than unplugging it, I use the steering wheel controls to bring up the first setting, light show I think. Once it shows, everything works properly again.

I also thought only in reverse.

A side note - I don't have a problem with the license plate lights and camera on my 2025 - something seems different about it. There's not the same glare and the whole image is lighted differently. Did Jeep work on this?

Maybe try it on a buddy's rig. To see if it is the Tazer or something specific to your truck.

Mine sometimes glitches out and stops working on the license plate lights. I've unmarried and remarried it in the past, but I also bought a wiring harness that will take care of that in the future; I just have to get it installed one of these days when I have time.

What harness and where did you buy it? I too am tired of the license light shutdown in reverse failing. Thanks.

This guy on eBay. https://ebay.us/m/xH2hEL

He didn't have any in stock, but he agreed to give me a heads up when one was ready after I contacted him.

If you are talking about the one I think you may be asking about - beware, they use wire that's waay too big, and it doesn't fit the terminals, and the terminal crimps are awful - not done by the correct tool.
They need to use much smaller wire (18 gauge TOPS, even 20 would work) and the correct crimp tool and a relay half that size is more than enough. These are LED, not high wattage aircraft lights.
The wires come out of the pins very easily.

Proper size wires for the pins/terminals and a proper crimp tool would prevent this mess -

Drop down a gauge or so - would be a lot better. This is way overkill for our electric system needs - and that wire is way too big for the terminals -

Literally came apart days after install.

I have everything I need to make my own - including the correct size wire in silicon, just need to get some of the pins because I don't have the correct ones for these connectors (I have a great selection, just not these)

Next time, I follow my rule - want it done right, do it yourself...........

If you are going to start making these SP, count me in as a buyer.
