[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 456674, member: 18877"] I did end up going down a bit of a rabbit hole, Sorry. A test you can do is just plug in the one and see what happens. We probably should have mentioned that jeeps flash their lights when you lock or unlock. It is typically both tail lights as well. I believe that is what you are asking how to fix. My point in my overlong explanations, is that you may be stuck with the current functionality due to the differences in electrical draw by LED lights vs Standard bulbs. If you didn't have the resistors in the tail lights they would probably both flash, but the blinkers would then hyperflash. My guess is that the resistors is effecting the lock flash. This shouldn't be a problem beyond being a bit harder to find if you park next to a bunch of jeeps in a parking lot. Is that your main concern? If you still have the OEM tail lights you can plug them in and double check that both lights still blink on lock, but as I said, I'm guessing there isn't really anything you can do. The Jeep is just doing it's best with tech that it wasn't designed for. [/QUOTE]
