To turn off Jeep interior lights, locate the light switch on the dashboard or door frame and press it to turn off the lights. In a Jeep Gladiator, there are two thumbwheels near the headlight control knob. The right-hand thumbwheel governs the activation of interior lights when the door is opened.
To disable the interior lights coming on when you open the doors, follow these steps:
- Find the light switch near the ceiling console.
- Press the Lights button on the touchscreen to display options related to the vehicle’s exterior and interior lights.
- Tap the multifunction lever up or down once without moving beyond the detent to flash three times and automatically turn off the turn signal.
- Turn on each reading light by pushing the lens, then push the lens a second time to turn the light off.
- Rotate the headlight control knob to turn off the interior lights.
- Adjust ambient lighting (door handles and foot wells) and dash light with the interior dimmer dial next to the headlight switch. Rotate the dial all the way down to turn off the lights and all the way up to turn on the interior lights.
- Turn on the rear dome light in the cargo area by pressing it. Grab your fuse puller and start pulling the fuse up, and they will turn off.
In summary, turning off Jeep interior lights can be a quick and practical solution for conserving energy. By following these steps, you can easily turn off the interior lights and maintain a comfortable driving experience.
📹 How To Turn Off Jeep Wrangler JL Dome/ Interior Lights!
I found a way to turn off the Jeep Wrangler JL dome/ interior lights. But it has its flaws.
📹 HOW TO Turn Off LIGHTS OUT Error on a Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator After Installing LED
TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS OUT is the error message Cindy and I saw on our dash EVIC soon after installing a set of blackout LED …
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.
Hey Fella – Love the articles. Do you have a article 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.
Eddie! I upgraded the halogen fog lights on my JT with Baja Designs squadrons. I don’t have any errors on the dash. Changed the settings with my tazer mini for led fogs, but the squadrons still slightly flicker. Not sure if the canbus system is unhappy or the lights are faulty. Do you think this method you did on your tail lights might be something that could help my situation?
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
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
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?
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! 🙌
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
Great article! 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.
Thanks for the article. 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.
For me, this article 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 article! 👍
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 article, certain it will help those that miss this last and important step.
Great article as always. I’d love to see a article 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 article with tips on this topic would be great.
Worked on my JL – thanks!! Any idea if this same process works for a blind spot monitoring system error? Installed Oracle led flush tail lights and it started throwing all sorts of errors. Now that the tail light error is fixed, the blind spot monitoring error won’t go away…. Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas!!
after i got to work i watched this a second time and decided to try it. turned off the LEDs and did a reboot. got back it and out of habit i started the jeep. did another reboot. realizing this was going to take to long before work started, i turned the LEDs back and did one more reboot. it worked. no fault, no hyper clicking dash.
I installed those lights and got multiple messages on my dash. I’m so tired of doing the Hokey-Pokey, now it’s my ear worm! The song and dance works temporarily but then the messages come back: tail light out, start/stop not available battery charging, ABS, brake and the blind spot indicators don’t work. When I unplug the tail lights all those messages disappear. Any suggestions Eddie? Thanks
This procedure seems completely random to figure out…. if I had seen that as a suggestion I would have just assumed someone was messing with me. Makes me think the the person who wrote the programming for the ecu for jeep, was told to make it difficult to flash out the error for non mopar safety equipment. Wonder if there is anything else (other than lights), that procedure will work for…..
I had been searching for a fix for my aftermarket fenders with LED turn signals. I have a Tazer Mini and followed your instructions. This 100% fixed my Lights Out message that would come on all the time and the Hyper Flash. I did initially use the Tazer but I was still getting the message. This step-by-step guide was top notch and really worked. Thank you!!!
