What's wrong?
The rear side marker lights on the 2022 Jeep Wrangler are small lamps built into the tail lamp assembly. Their job is to make the side and rear edge of the vehicle visible to other drivers in low light. They are part of the exterior lighting system covered by FMVSS 108, the federal lighting standard.
On affected Wranglers, the wiring harness installed with the tail lamp assembly does not match the lamp assembly. The harness is the bundle of wires and connectors that carries power and signals to the lights. Because the harness and tail lamp assembly are incompatible, the rear side marker lamps do not turn on as designed. Jeep traced this to an engineering specification error, not to a broken bulb or owner-caused damage.
There is no warning sign before failure. The practical way to catch the issue is to inspect the rear side marker lights with the exterior lights switched on, or to ask a Jeep dealer to check the tail lamp assembly during service.
