Left rear turn signal works occasionly, then it doesn't. Sometimes when you turn either directional light on, they both blink at the same time. Left taillight is now out. When lights are on, (and left taillight was working) right taillight bulbs seem dimmer than left. I've replaced both left taillight bulbs, replaced ground wire and made sure it had good contact on body, and replaced all necessary fuses pertaining to the lights. NOTE: The bulbs and fuses that I replaced were fine, and didn't need to be replaced, but I did anyways. It seems like these problems have arisen since I've had my remote starter installed from Long Radio about a month ago. I've been back twice with this problem, and they say it's not caused by their installation of the remote starter, (they only tap into the flashers they say) but a Jeep problem instead. Anyone have any ideas on what could cause this? I'm leaning towards a botched remote starter installation, but can't prove it. My next step is to have the remote starter removed and see how the lights react.
Update from Feb 25, 2013: Fixed the problem. It was the year-old U_Haul trailer hitch poor installation of the wire harness that was causing the problem. Had the crap removed, and lights are fine now.
