Rear Side Marker Lights not staying on

[Jeepin802]

I noticed that the OEM side marker lights on my '22 Gladiator are not staying on when I use the turn signals. Sometimes they come back on when the turn signals shut off and other times they do not. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Until you stated “sometimes” I figured this was the default “drop“ during indicator use that is common on modern CJDR platforms — only I didn’t know if the rear markers used the same strategy (seems unlikely to me). Are you using any aftermarket controls including having changed values with TAZR/JSCAN/related? Swap the lights from incandescent to LED? Is this a vehicle you have owned since new? If all-original/OEM, my thoughts are different than possible combinations described above.

I have a related situation on my JTM. I now believe there are settings (specific to LED units that affect PWM/timing values and whether the unit activates/recovers from signal changes) that can affect the scenario you are describing. In talking to mechanics that are familiar with this, it is something that happens and can be difficult to resolve. I don’t want to hijack your thread, and plan to post a similar idea about my front OEM LED fender lights…

Thank you for your reply to my post. It is a very odd thing. I do have a TAZR installed and the rear tail lights are LED bulbs. Those work just fine. I swapped everything back to OEM and unmarried the TAZR. The side marker lights still do the same thing.
