2021 JGCL lights turning on and off while jeep is parked and truned off

On my wifes 2021 JGCL i have noticed that the lights turn on and off all night long. The headlights, tailights, mirror and doorhandles, and the interior lights, then it will turn off the headlights and tailights for maybe 20 or 30 seconds and the other lights stay on, then the headlights and tailights come back on and then all lights go off and the cycle just continues. I noticed it about 2 months ago and it just keeps getting worse, more and more frequent. This is just one of several issues we are having with this Jeep.

This sounds like the proximity option when one of the key fobs gets closer to the car.
Hopefully is as simple as this, make sure you don't leave the keys so close to the car. Try putting them very far and see if it still happens.
You can also turn off the proximity in Uconnect

Please search for post by me. It is caused by proximity wake-up. You are placing your keys too close to the vehicle and it thinks you are approaching it. My keys were placed roughly 6-8’ from vehicle, inside the house while it was parked in the garage. I had identical behavior in August 2021. My dealer and corporate were told. They just don’t care.

You disable proximity wake-up in the Uconnect settings —> vehicle settings.

Yet another feature that must be shut off to prevent the vehicle from destroying itself.
