Help me Understand why the light dont work.

[UTRocky]

Noticed this Saturday, picture with driver side light not on when I am remote start or lock/unlock Gladiator it doesn't light up. But if I start the engine and am "running" it appears to work?

I have all halogens, Im leaning on upgrading my lights, but since I will eventually change fenders and bumpers....etc. I was thinking of just doing the bulbs currently. IDK what are your thoughts and suggestions community? KC Lights or Dynamic Diodes (I asked on their post questions; but haven't gotten a response and now I fear I will miss the sale, sigh).

Where was your Jeep made? European vehicles had this option to turn parking lights illuminated on one side only.​

 

[UTRocky]

America - US/MX - why would they only want one side? Is there a way for me to fix this?

Does the left front turn signal flash?

 

[UTRocky]

Let me go check.

confirmed Driver (front left) blinker works, and DRL light works - but again when remote started the driver side DRL light doesn't illuminate like as in photo in OP.

Why does this happen only when you remote start? I just saw this last night, when I remote started my JT the blinkers didn't work. But when I turn it off, then started it normally it worked - wth?

Mallcrawl, I guess Im confused - All I noticed is when I had the JT remoted started the other day, taillights were illuminated and passenger DRL was illuminated but the driver DRL was not. I was like how is the bulb already out at 20k miles - So I started the JT normally to go drive to get a bulb and I noticed the DLR both sides are on - repeated this process a few times to test theory and confirmed that the driver DRL doesnt illiuminate when remote start. Is this by design or should I be taking this to a dealer I guess is my question?

Yeah that is strange, if you do decide to take it to the dealership keep us posted on why this is? I never had a vehicle that used remote start, so this is new to me

ya I mean could of been something I havent noticed since I have owned the Jeep for the past 6 months, who knows.

That is going to be some type of software control of the BCM. Whether it is a setting or a software glitch, could not tell you.

I figured this, because there are indeed only 2 lights bulbs in the OEM fenders right? One for Blinker and one for DRL?

Not counting the side marker LED assembly, there is only two incandescent bulbs. One for the DRL and one which is a dual filament which is for the park and turn signal.

I have factory LEDs and mine does the same thing.
