it sounds like you've got several wires loose or burnt at the power distribution box or in the proximity of it

it sounds like the left side parking light feed and a feed to something involving the airbag

check the box for corrosion and loose wires and see if the problem persists

make sure your trailer harness hasn't chaffed and grounded itself, the parking feed on the trailer harness comes from the left side parking light feed which i believe ends up powering the license plate light as well

I once had water get inside the license plate bulb holder causing the plastic to melt and making a short. Would pop the fuse everytime I replaced it till I found the short. It also affected my parking lights.

Bring up this old thread cause I have a similar issue...

My left parking light is out but the right parking light works. I've changed the left parking light bulb, twice and still no go.
My left brake light and turn signal light works though. What fuse is the left parking light? I was suspecting a faulty wire or something along the lines of that; but where would I check for that on the Jeep? I'm not a wizz when it comes to electrical stuff, so I need some help here.
