2x fast blinker & brake light
Unfortunately, some people have insisted it MUST be a bad bulb.
It could be a bad connection somewhere close to the non-illuminating light.
Get a multi-meter and check for power at the socket in question.
Have someone hold the brakes while you wiggle the wires in the vicinity of the bad light.
Someone mentioned it could be a bad relay or flasher. Not likely, as the JK has no blinker relay or flasher. It's all done by computer.

something may be wrong with your socket, or one of the wires running out....
not trying to be a jerk, but your sure they're seating correctly into the socket? I had to use a flat tip screw driver to slightly push the clip aside in order to pull the bulb, new bulb just pushes in....

Seating correctly? That i do not... i push firmly until it clicks in so who knows...

essentially yes....and if that is the case then I think you may very well have isolated the problem to the column unit...sorry man, that sucks if that's the case. Yes I did say it was certainly your bulb...of course that's all I was hoping it would be because that's a very cheap, fast, easy fix...I'm sorry it's not.
What bulb is my actual blinker & brake light so i know what socket to test for power.
Also why would my column mess up my brake light?
I still have warranty for another 3,000 miles i don't care about the cost....

no your right...that shouldn't affect your brake light.I'm just thinking that if your hazard lights cosistently have all four lights flash appropriately then maybe the socket or wire isn't and issue and may very well be further back....I shall go test all my lights now and let you know which is which
Ok...in tailight housing only two lights...lower one is simply your reverse bulb all alone. Upper bulb is tailight, brake light, indicator. With that bulb, two filaments...the upper-most one is the tailight filament, the bottum filament is the brake and indicator filament which gets it's pos power fromt he white/yellow wire.
So...I suppose it's entirely possible to have a faulty connection at the socet, or a break in that wire somewhere.....just doesn't make much sense if it operates just fine with hazards on....

Hmm so ...? Dealer drop off lol?
Another thing.. when i unlock my car with my keyless entry only my right blinker flashes 2x
Lock it will flash once, unlock your lights flash twice, that will cause it not to work.
