Well then remove the Tazer.

That sucks for your car!

Tazer is off. Same issue

Sounds like low battery voltage (either aux or main or both) Get them checked out for charge level or have an AGM battery tender put on and charge them up.

Can always try and disconnect the batteries. Separate the negatives also. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and hook everything back up. Sometimes that resets everything.

+1 on that. Your JT appears to be at least two years old?
2 years seems to be the dusk hour on OEM AUX batteries.

I think the batteries are bad. I deleted the accessory battery and the car started with a jump then quickly turned off again.

It was the batteries, both were fried. Sucks im dressed in a suit today and changing batteries at the office.

Thanks guys. I was all sorts of freaked out. My office is in Mexico also

@Lunentucker There are a few post on here on how to remove and eliminate the small start/stop battery and connect everything to the main battery. It worked to get me moving until I get home to put back in the small one.

Changed battery now it over heated.
I can’t get ahead with this thing. Maybe a fuse?

You likely blew part of the high current fuse when fussing with trying to disconnect the aux battery. The high current fuse handles the cooling fan. That's a $175 item by itself.
Ya gotta be careful and not start just doing things because you read something or heard something - and when working with these batteries, they aren't always disconnected fully when you think they are. If you didn't take the ground cable off the main battery then separate the two black cables from each other and isolate them from touching anything, could have very easily taken out a fuse.
Look up "high current fuse". It's the big honker on the end of the PDC where the other fuses are. All those studs sticking up - that's where the high current fuse is. It shows multiple but it's all in one fuse array so if one is bad, you replace the whole fuse array.

I figured it was somethign I did when removing that battery like you mentioned. I needed to get at least to the US of A so I did what I needed to with the limited tools I had. Now Ill just take it to the mechanic and let them play with it. I now have a direction to tell them. Thank you os much for the words of advice also. Im no pro... obviously.

If everyone was a pro, it would be pretty boring in the world. (and we all must start somewhere)
