HOW TO Turn Off LIGHTS OUT Error on a Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator After Installing LED
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS OUT is the error message Cindy and I saw on our dash EVIC soon after installing a set of blackout LED taillights on our Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. Of course, we knew this was most likely going to happen in spite of the fact that our JL came with LED lights and that's because the new blackout ones were made to replace a set of standard incandescent lights. And, while we thought this would be easy enough to fix, especially being that we have a Z Automotive Tazer installed, we soon found out that you actually need to do a very specific set of things to turn the error code off. In this video, you'll get to see what those things are and I should note, this will also work on a JT Gladiator and will even work for headlights, fog lights and even turn signal DRL lights.

You just showed a great reason to NOT change the LED tail lights!!
LOL - that may be true but as I note in the video, this will ALSO address new headlights, fog lights or even front turn signal lights. A change to them will ALSO cause the error to come on and this will get rid of it 😎
Yes, that’s silly, why have options for anything?!
@@wayalifeand you need to pass this process with each kind of light?
@Danifer_TV my experience if your changing them individually over time, then yes. If you change them all at one time, set up the right settings in tazer, do the process, then no.
Wow. Great video (as always). I haven’t dealt with this (yet) but holy cow, that’s a super secret hand shake if I’ve ever seen one. I’m sure folks out there will be happy you made this video.
Glad it was helpful!
That's black folks 5 minute handshake level right there. ha ha
I’ll just stick with my factory LED’s! Lol
LOL - they are always a great option :)
@@wayalife 👍🏻👍🏻
Tried this and it didn't work the first time but I discovered a few things that may help... The core issue is that the factory LED's have a fault sense wire and this procedure is designed to turn off that fault wire. The question becomes, does the replacement LED light fixture have a chip or a circuit to normal this out, if not, then this procedure needs to take place. Adding resistors just effects the voltage to prevent hyper flash on non-led to led conversions. That being said, my issue was due to a fender chop with small LED pod lights that I'm using for Turn signals. Since I'm no longer using factory DRL I used the Tazer to change DRL: none. Although the Tail light LED off/on procedure didn't work, I decided to try the procedure but toggling the FrnTurn LED from On to off, followed by 3 reboots and then Off to On followed by 3 reboots. This Worked !!! So to speed things up, there is a faster way to do the reboots. 1. Close the Jeep door. 2. Run position and go to Tazer and clear DTC's. 3. Go to lighting then Tail or FrnTurn depending on which one you are trying to fix. 4. Change LED to NO. 5. Reboot. 6. Once the reboot is complete turn the Jeep to off position "Do not open door". In order to hit the sleep cycle just wait for the screen to go black then look at the shifter and wait for the lights to go out. You can then go back to the run position and do another Tazer reboot. There is no need to wait 2 minutes. Once the reboot is done, go to ignition off and wait for the shifter lights to go out then repeat. After the 3rd reboot, go to the ignition run position access the Tazer and turn back whichever LEDs you turned off back to YES and do the same 3 reboots. Remember, you need to keep the door closed to speed up the sleep cycle between reboots. Will literally cut the time by more than half.
Finally got it to work! For those of you struggling with this, I had to do an extra step. When you’re in the Tazer menu be sure to select Clear CELs? After I did that and followed the steps laid out, it worked! My Oracle tail lights are no longer hyper flashing and the error code is gone!
Good tip!
How do you clear CEL’s?
Finally, a video with clear instructions that ACTUALLY WORKS. thank you. This fixed the problem.
Glad it helped
Thanks for your video. I followed it exactly except for my front replacement LED turn signals. The hyper flash is gone and everything works great!
Glad it helped
Almost feels like updating Windows. I keep rebooting my computer and more updates show up needing another reboot. You are a patient man.
LOL - it's a pain for sure but having the error code come up every time I started the engine was worse.
it is amazing how this 2 year old video still help people thank you
Awesome! Glad to hear it helped you out 👍
Thanks for this tip. I got that error code when I installed the Oracle Flush Mount Tail Lights on my JLUR
I already have the factory LED package and didn't need the resistor
Glad it helped
I’m having the same issues with my Oracle lights. So far not having any luck while trying this reset. Eddie, the first three resets you have the LED Tail set to No and the last three resets you have it to Yes, is that correct?
Thanks for the tip .. finally worked for me
Glad it helped
the fact that you have to do this is ridiculous. just goes to show that more tech isnt always better when it comes to customization
for Flashcal F5 users with JL/JT, plug your flashcal device , turn on vehicle (w/o starting the engine), go to "options" then choose "vehicle settings" scroll to 2nd page then choose "Standard/LED". if you have the OEM LED package in your jeep you will select "standard" then exit out and unplug your flashcal device. You will do the same procedure again but this time you will select LED. after selecting LED, go to DTC reader and select "clear codes". while the Flashcal device is still plugged in,. go ahead and turn on your turn signals 20sec on L and 20sec on R. that should clear the annoying dash warning light
I just changed the tail lights on my 2024 Wrangler 4xe sport s. Luckily it had incandescent lights so no issues Installing the new LED's
What about the front turn signals. I replaced the halogen with LED factory lights and the indicator light on the instrument panel is doing what yours did. Does the computer let you adjust the front?
Terrific video. I never would have figured it out on my own. You are my hero!
Awesome! Glad we could be of help with this video.
After numerous attempts to fix my issue, this WORKED!!!! No more light out error on the turn signals. THANKS!!
Awesome! So glad to hear it worked for you and that our video was helpful as well.
Great question and great video, I’m about to do this on my JLU…. I’m assuming I clear the turn signals in the Tazer instead of the tail lights to clear the turn signal code…or do I follow this exactly like you did in the video Eddie? I may just try this both ways!! Thx again for posting this!!
I have been fighting this problem for about 3 months. Thanks for the great tip.
Glad to hear our video was helpful to you.
Hola amigo yo tengo un problema pero en las de adelante! La luz de los cuartos de los guardabarros se vuelven locas no me sale error en el tablero pero las luces si se descontrolad tanto las direccionales cono los cuartos... Se van a tierra... Tendras alguna idea de como solucionar? Es un Rubicon 2023
I’m going to try this on my JL. Ever since we installed the AAL highlines we get a very intermittent front turn signal warning on one side or the other. It’s very random and doesn’t stay on long, but I’d like it to stop permanently.
Did Your JL came with the LED package ??
@@faisal3865 yep
@@psualligater I guess that explain why u had it, mine got the halogen and I am worried i well get it when i upgrade
@@faisal3865 I have halogen original and upgraded to LED at first it worked fine and no errors on since I had the Tazer but now I have an error and cant get it to go away as well as my LED indicator doesn’t blink on one side
Another great educational video. I’m sure this will help a number of people. Computers are so much fun!
Nothing would make us happier than to know our video is helpful to others.
This worked for me 100%! I have aftermarket fenders with integrated LED lights from Metal Cloak. I recently started getting a dash error that my right front blinker was out. Upon inspection of the wiring I saw that one of the two ground wires had been severed/disconnected at the termination point in the plug (on Metal Cloak side). Surprisingly, the light still worked it was just throwing an error; best guess is that ground was to detect continuity on the Jeep side. Metal Cloak sent me a new light unit with no hassle at all. I put the new one in and still had the right front blinker out message on my dash. I followed these instructions except I selected "LED HED". FIXED!!! Thank you! 🙌
Glad to hear our video was helpful to you 👍
Wow
I appreciate you as an aircraft mechanic who likes to do things correctly no matter what it takes
Thank you for this Eddie. I changed out the Fenders on the JLU and got this message for over a year with no luck shutting it off. I have since sold it and bought a new JL and a JT, so this info will come in handy if and when I change them out again. Incidentally, I did keep my CB Bar, but will need another one for the JT. Will they be in stock again soon?
Awesome, glad to hear our video will be helpful to you on your new JL and JT and the CB BAR's are in stock now 👍
@@wayalife awesome, expect my order in the next few minutes.
It worked perfectly when I followed your instructions exactly. I really appreciate you and you have a new subscriber. Thanks!!!!
Happy to hear we were able to help out with our video.
Thanks, this has been driving me crazy with the AAL fender brace replacement. I had the wired harness but it stopped working and I began getting the hyper flash and warning message. I took the harness off and used the Tazer JL method and it worked! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Glad to hear we could be of help to you with our video.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This fixed my issue!! I am astonished it worked but it did! Major props! Thanks again!!
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Were the capacitors still installed on the lights, or were they removed to make this work with the Tazer?
Hi bro, I have this message but in the from, I was installed but no sure, doing the same.
Tried this today because this warning or error showed up randomly. I've never replaced or changed the factory LED tail lights.
But my error only shows that the right hand tail side is out. But when I inspect it, everything works as normal. Any pointers on how to maybe get this working? I've tried talking to Jeep but their service people never get back to me
The health monitor is showing a voltage drop in that light but really, if your tail light is an LED, it really shouldn't be out this soon. I might take your Jeep to a dealership and have them give it a look and see if you can get it covered under warranty.
I used JSCAN and changed setting once. No need for multiple times at all like this video required. Been working fine 6 months no issues.
Cool. If you have these exact same lights and were able to clear the error with just one setting, good for you.
Thank You so much for posting this. I was able to put on rubicon fenders with the led lights. Thank You Sir and God Bless
Awesome! Happy to hear our video was helpful to you.
My 2023 Rubicon did not come with LED headlights or tail lights. If I buy the Oracle flush mount tail lights, can I just use JScan and my OBDLink MX+ and set the LEDs to active in my adaptations?
I don't think so. So far as I know, Tazer is the only thing that will allow you to do this.
Great video…..definitely some black magic, but if it works great! I’m bookmarking this one just in case I change out my tails.
Again, as mentioned in the video, this will work with ANY of the lights on your Jeep.
Yep you need the Taser, but I would also recommend a very large travel mug of coffee……….lol.
LOL
Would this fix my no front turn signals not working?. Chop fender AAL. Just DRL work but when using turn signals it just turns off completely on the turn signal im using. 19 rubicon
Sorry, couldn't tell you for sure. Typically, this will only fix the warning light on the dash - not make a light work.
Hello guys, Rick from western mass, I would love to see you guys come back out here and hit Mabell and Old Florida Road again…. Always welcome on our side of the country!
God Bless!
Hey Rick! Sure would be great to come back. Hope to make that happen.
@@wayalife you are always welcome!!
Semper Fi
I have a question. I had an electrical issue on my Jeep and both batteries had to be replaced everything’s working fine now but the DRL are not working I bought the Jeep with aftermarket headlights and I’m wondering if this would fix my issue? Thanks in advance
I had taken the battery off before and never had any issue with the DRL but this time was a much bigger issue and the check engine came on and I had a bunch of codes.@
Will this work for aftermarket marker lights I'm having a problem with my blinkers not working once I power on my jeep .. 2018 jl wrangler Sahara
It would depend on whether the lights are not coming on or if you're just getting an error code like I show in the video. If it's the prior, you most likely need a resistor.
You're a patient man! I would have never gone though all that for some aftermarket tail lights.
As mentioned, this will get rid of the error code that you WILL get with ANY change to ANY lights on your Jeep.
Thanks!
Thank you. We're happy that you found our video to be useful 😎
Have you ever heard of the right tail light not working on a jeep gladiator? Brake and signal works just fine but will not stay illuminated at night when the lights are on. Already replaced them to the oracle tail lights, and did not work. Jeep lights are non LED. Any feedback helps.
Just the right tail light? Sorry, I have not heard of that.
I had to do a similar dance with my Tazer Mini for the TPMS that disappeared after I installed it. Z Automotive help desk was awesome!
Great video.
Great to hear and glad you enjoyed the video.
Need more people so spread this video more
Another "Jeep thing"
I really thought this was April 1st joke
I’ve tried this numerous times with no luck. Still get the error message. Oracle tail lights, morimoto turn signals. Followed all the steps and still shows the message. Super frustrating.
Just to make sure, you are in fact using a Z Automotive Tazer or Tazer Mini, correct?
Will this work on a “right rear turn light out” message? Purchased car used, not exactly sure why the error, but the light is working. Dealer said it was likely due to wiring from instal of a flat tow hitch.
I would think it should.
The led menu is not showing up for me
Having the same issue, swapped failinh oracle flush mounts back to halogen. Now my lights don't work, scrolled theough the tazer mini menu and I don't have the lighting option, any recommendations???
Sorry, not sure what to tell you. Tazer is the most complete programmer that I know of. Not sure why you don't have this option.
@@wayalife Thanks 😊
Wow! What a lot of work to reprogram/reset your lights. Who would have thought that you'd have to do 6 reboots and then cycle the turn signals, too.
LOL - it's why I wasn't able to turn off the error before. I didn't know the hokie pokie 🤪
At last a video that does not assume I am ACE certified. Thanks.
LOL - so glad you found our video to be helpful 😎
Wow your were not kidding about the hooky pokey ☺️😳😞
LOL - I wish I was.
Well, at least Ripley is happy you installed those lights.
She got another bit of play time!
LOL - I can assure you, she got a lot more than that. She insisted 😁
Great video! This is a little off topic but I thought the larger community might have an idea. I do not have a Tazer. Here's the problem which is also on Wrangler forums. When I turn off the Jeep the gear indicator lights and center dash display lights remain on, intermittently., but when it starts it stays. The battery is dead in the morning. I have removed fuse F97 and F25 to no avail. If I completely disconnect the battery the dash light remains on, meaning it is drawing from the aux battery. Any ideas on how to correct this? You seem so knowledgable so I thought I'd give this a try. Also a shout out to the community. Thanks for listening.
Yeah Eddie what a pain in the ASS!!! LOL I think I will just keep mine stock. Great Help Video though, thank you for always coming out with great contents to help us with our jeeps.
Glad we can help with videos like this. As I mentioned in the video, this will also help with ANY lights that you may change out on your Jeep.
@@wayalife haven’t seen any talk about any trips in the near future? I have been logging into our wayalife account to try and see if there was any talks about any upcoming trips.
Great video! However, to confirm you toggled and reboot each time LEDtails to no>yes>no>yes>no>yes? You don't end the cycle toggled to no?
Let me know if you get this! Thank you!
For me, this video shows how useless the dealers can be. I bought a "Slightly used" 22' Gladiator that had LED taillights and got the error message as soon as I drove it home. It only happens when I'm using the left signal. I took it back to them 2 Separate times and they couldn't figure it out. Now I'm glad I can do it myself. Great video! 👍
Thanks for the video. This is not the first time I've needed to get rid of that pesky tail light out warning. The last time was after I installed my aftermarket tail lights. A month ago I needed to swap back to my OEM LED tail lights. (long story there for a different day). Last time I think I got the alarm to go away by doing 2 sleep cycles of 5 minutes. I am pretty sure that worked... then... but not now. Your suggestion of doing full reboots did work this time around... at least so far. Thanks again.
Easy as 1-2-3-4-5-6, and then repeat!
I just took my 24 brand new two door sport last week and the front turn lights are not working properly and this error msg showing too. Not sure why.
Sounds like you have a bulb that is out.
Hey Fella - Love the videos. Do you have a video for the same procedure when replacing halogen headlights with LED Headlights with Halo Rings?...Since it is set as STD in the settings I would think simply changing to LED and doing the "REBOOT DANCE" will make it all work. I am installing LED's next week and already have LED tailights on the Gladi.
If you're getting the error code, I would give this a try. You would do the same thing only, when you're in your Tazer, you select the headlights.
We had the same problem aon the JK's in europe and other parts of the world with the DPF error codes on the 2.8 diesel. Same old 3min wait and reboot faff . So I guess "Stellantis" hasn't ironed that out of the software yet for other controlled parts.... knowing the French it should get worse.....
You didn't actually do the hokey pokey. Just saying. 😂
🤣
Best way to kill time, play with the pup. I'm going to try this to hopefully rectify phantom front turn signal lights out alarms. Thanks
LOL - fortunately, Ripley can never get enough play! This should help you out with your lights. I've done it on my JT as well for the front turn signal lights.
@@wayalife I'm running the American Adventure Labs high lines up front and Motobilt flush rears. 95% percent of the time they're perfect
@@MtnMoto Cool.
The device u have install in beneath shall all to have that?
I stalled after market fenders, I'm being getting the error lights message every time that start my Jeep , I'm going to try-out this tomorrow! Thanks 😮
Yes, the Tazer JL reboot cycle is... "involved". When I first got mine, I made some changes to my Jeep and they didn't seem to take. I read the reboot procedure what felt like ten times, because it's not really clear. I finally performed a similar procedure to what you have shown. Only difference, I stayed in the Jeep. I would just open and close the door, wait for the lights, etc... but remain in the vehicle. Thanks for the video, certain it will help those that miss this last and important step.
I'll bet that works too. I think the point of exiting the Jeep was to help it to go to sleep faster. At least, that's how it was explained to me.
Thanks for the video good to know about the lights and taser mini
Happy we could be of help 😎
The video content is so excellent, congratulations
Thank you so much 😀
I did exactly what you said and it works on run mode with no engine running but once i turn on engine no go. Right front turn signal out
Not sure what to tell you. Maybe contact Tazer.
That’s crazy. I wonder why you gotta do it 3 times each?
Is it like training a dog, you gotta break Jeep into submission so that it knows you’re the Alpha 😂
Either way good video, I’ll reference this if I ever change any lights to LED
LOL - doing it 3 times just gets the Jeep computer health monitors to finally accept that things are okay.
Tazer must have changed their directions because they actually tell you to do this now. I had to do the same thing when I just swapped my tails.
I see you have serv 4wd msg. I have same on mine. How did you fixed that?
For this Jeep, it was because we have a ProRock 44 front axle with ARB locker and a factory rear axle. I was finally able to turn that light off using a Tazer but only after rewiring the factory rear locker to a separate switch.
Geeesh 😅😂 I will keep my factory.. 😊
😅
Has anyone had success doing something similar with a flascal?
Not that I have seen.
once i am on audio on the dash screen, it won’t scroll through a menu when i press left and click on the cancel button. any solutions ??
Arent computers wonderful?
Uncle Bill Gates says computers will make our lives better.
We will drink Champaign & dance with elves the rest of the days of our lives.
!
LOL - Indeed :)
Hello would this fix the problem that they go out when it says that the turn singnals go out
This will address any of the LED health monitors.
My Tazer doesn't have the lighting option. I was so pumped to finally fix this 😭
Try updating the Tazer, it’s pretty easy just take it to your computer go to there website and they will have a download to update it. That should fix it.
@@patrickbrown6149 tech support for z automotive squared me away. The Tazer needed reactivated.
@@blkheart96 cool, glad you got it working. They have really good customer service.
The tazer need to be plug all the time or after the process is completed i can take it out?
Just for the process.
Were you still getting the “tail light out” during the process of the last 3 reboots?
I'm having this issue on my sport with oracle tail lights can the dealership change these settings
Just did this on a 2021 rubi JT. Didn't work at the end... but i cleared the DTC and when it rebooted it worked... 🤷♂️ lol. Wife 2021 Jt 3.6 Rubi is now happy. Im personally more happier i myself went with a 2022 Jt Ecodiesel, Willys.
Glad you were able to make it work out.
I get the same error but for the front signal lights. Do I do the same process but instead of changing the LED Tails do I change the LED Headlights?
Yes! I’m about to do this tomorrow for my front DRL lights
Yes, it will work for that too.
Should it be the headlight I do for LEDFrtrn I think that stands for led front turn signal?
@@wayalife it still makes the beep but no longer shows the warning signal picture! Thank you!!
LOL, Patience are a virtue LOL
Ripley helped to pass the time 😁
Ah, modern tech! I've been working on how to turn off adaptive cruise control in my Grand Cherokee L & set it to fixed speed cruise control. You'd think that would be very easy, wrong! Tech makes our lives so much easier 😒
Do you have to keep the Tazer connected after you clear it? Or can you pull the tazer out and it’ll be good still?
You can remove it after.
Do you know why mine didn’t work? Would you press full reboot or just left arrow and resume button?
Thanks for this extremely helpful video. Btw after reset those settings, can I unplug the tazer and reattaching everything back to the SGW module?
Yes. But, you will need to restore everything back to stock before taking your Jeep back to the dealership.
Great video as always. I’d love to see a video on speedometer calibration. I have 35’s and bought an ECRI calibration. I changed the tires to 35 and the gearing was off. So I tried the driving method but it would only go up to about 33.35 for the tire size. So the gearing is still off. So a video with tips on this topic would be great.
Sorry, have no experience with what you have but with the Tazer, this video is what I did to calibrate our speedometer th-cam.com/video/81_evB9At3I/w-d-xo.html
@@wayalife Thanks! I will be check it out. Also, just purchased a Wayalife decal. Can’t wait to slap it on my jeep. 🤘🏽
It just amazes me how someone can figure out something like this.
LOL - you're telling me! Fortunately, I have friends in all the right places 😎
@@wayalife My Dad (a Mechanical Engineer) would say, "sometimes it's not what you know but who you know"........
I think I'll just keep my JK. What an unnecessary, complicated process. I can only imagine why.
LOL - It is nice that the JK didn't have as many health monitors.
Hi there, I wonder if Tazer Lite can also solve this problem. Thank you
Sorry, I'm not sure but I think it should. You might want to contact them to make sure.
@@wayalifesorry for asking again, do I need to keep my Tazer mini connected in order to get rid of the error code?
@@jkoaisolyes
Can you just turn it off and leave it off on the tazer. Or do the tail lights stop working all together then.
The tazer is designed to be removed after programming.
@@wayalife ya I figured it out you can just shut off the tail lights in the tazer. Then you don't get the message on the dash saying faulty trail lights. I'm sure it won't tell me when I have a bad light but whatever.
That is a lot of steps to do. If that meant playing frisbee with the dog for two minute stretches, I am good to go. Hope to remember this video when I get a light error code.
I just ran into this With my fenders your the man👍
Awesome! Glad we could be of help with our video.
It went out but comes back when my headlights turn on (Oracle oculus bi LED) I’m puzzled not giving up tho
Cnbus system is trash.
Now that's Hokey Pokey. I promise never to install black out tail lights and That's what it's all about. I do thank you for all your great videos.
LOL - as mentioned in the video, this will also work for headlights, fog lights and turn signal lights too.
Thanks!
Glad we were able to help :)
Does this work for Jeep Renegades trailhawks?
I have three messages since i bought my used jeep( sound system unavailable, daytime running light out, parking light out) in which all light shave been checked and sound system has been clear. I just do not know how to reset the messages
Only if Tazer is available for the Renegade and that I do not know.
