Tom I am having this same problem with a 2021 Wrangler, do you know what the mechanic did to resolve this issue?ChatGPT response, answered in the style of Dr. Seuss (I found this rather amusing):
In a land of sand and rocks, where Jeeps roam free, There lived a Gladiator, as fine as could be. But one curious problem had our friend perplexed, For the taillight side markers just wouldn't rest.
When the Jeep was turned off, and the day was done, The LEDs kept shining, as bright as the sun. Our Gladiator owner scratched their head in dismay, And wondered what could make those lights stay.
They checked the switches, and the battery too, But nothing they did seemed to make them go "boo!" So off to the dealer, our friend did scurry, In hopes of a fix for their taillight worry.
With a hop and a skip, and a bounce down the road, They arrived at the dealer, with their tale to be told. The mechanic listened, with a furrowed brow, And said, "Let's take a look, I'll fix it right now!"
With tools in hand, and a twinkle in their eye, They dove into the Jeep, to give it a try. They tinkered and tested, and fiddled about, Until finally, they let out a shout!
"We've found the issue, it's a simple fix! Just a glitch in the system, playing tricks. Your Gladiator's fine, it's as good as can be, No more glowing taillights, you're now worry-free!"
So back on the road, our Gladiator went, With a smile on its face, and a sigh of content. For the tale of the taillights, though it caused quite a fuss, Had a happy ending, thanks to the dealer's fuss.
