I have a 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL and my left tail blinks rapidly while the vehicle is off. It also blinks while it is running. I tried disconnecting the battery and then reconnecting it, but the tail light continues to blink after I reconnect the battery. My next step is to replace the whole tail light. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Are the tail lights factory? It sounds more like a wiring problem.

Agree, don’t waste money on a tail light. Tail lights don’t supply their own power, I’d look at the signal light mechanism.

Replacing the tail light is likely a waste of time and money. Sounds like the BCM is stuck bleeding power over on that line, not good.

I disconnected the battery and then reconnected it, and it seems to have fixed it.
What is the BCM?

Disregard the BCM question. I figured it out and plan on resetting the BCM to the factory settings. Fingers crossed.
