PLEASE HELP - Right Rear Turn Light Out....but not out!

[Apollak19]

Hi there, thanks in advance for your help! Trying to avoid taking the Jeep to the dealership, which is 1.5 hours away!

I've got a 2020 Gladiator LE. Right Rear Turn Light signal came on the dash a few days ago. I've got LED's and I cannot see lights out on them. I've cleared the CEL's using a Tazer twice (completed full reboot and 2 cycles after). The light turned off but then turned back on shortly after.

Any idea what this could be? I'm boggled. Am I missing something simple here?

Mine is doing the same. It's a bad resistor on that aftermarket led taillight. I contacted the manufacturer of the taillights and they are shipping me a new resistor.

Ah, but my taillights are the OEM LED's that came on a Launch Edition

I will add, when I turn on the right turn signal, its an inconsistent click. Whereas the left is still consistent.

One thing to check - take the two screws out that hold the tail light assembly, then pull the tail light out and check the connector behind the tail gate - make sure it's not been messed with, the wires aren't chewed and so on.
Check the ground wires - oddly almost sounds like a ground with the turn signal.

By the way - you don't have to do any waiting, reboots or cycles or whatever when you clear a malfunction light - simply clearing the stored code will kill the light. Mine goes off as soon as I choose to reset it (I use JSCAN)
