Starting was never the issue. if it didn't start after sitting- it's most likely the crap batteries these come with. With a good battery, of course it will start. F42 and the ESS had nothing to do with that. You fixed it with a good quality battery. Dealerships are pretty bad sources of...

Here's where the connection is important - the flat of the cable terminal against the copper of the IBS, the stud and nut are mostly to clamp the two together although of course some is conducted through the nut's lower face against the top of the cable terminal............

yeah, After all, it's holding both ground cables to the IBS before any mods, so it's going to hold just one. The only "negative" is that in the 21 and later you lose that large stud to connect things to, but then you always have chassis grounds or connectors like Tysongladiator shows in his...

Hey, at least it warns you! Vehicles of the past often shut down if the voltage was too low for ignition or injection. And then there's the serious side as I can personally relate with Meniere's and vestibular migraine issues in recent months - get me to a chair or the floor fast, I'm going...

That's pretty much my point. What is to be reported? If someone who wants to see it reported would give an example of what they are reporting and how they'd report it, that might help What happened, when it happened, if possible how it happened. One thing that maybe can't be made clear is what...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087KP7QJH I did some modifying of this harness so I could move the 12v outlet over to the right, I extended a couple of the wires. But as it comes - it's a fused 12 volt power tap, on and off with the 12v outlet.

Some won't believe it, but that's exactly what happens with tires that stick out, or where there's a large gap between bumper and fender flare. I was turning a corner not far from home - the farmer there has quite a complex of buildings and a shop and a lot of gravel on a slanted driveway. A...

There's some VERY long old threads here about cracked windshield club and so on. It's just a thing with the design. It's been discussed ad nauseam in some of those threads. If you like the Jeep Wrangler style, you expect, accept and live with it. We've discussed the physics of the design, the...

2015 to 2019 - 4 years? Must have taken a while to get other reports. NHTSA won't discourage reporting - if they did, then people would try to judge for themselves if it was something to write to them about. Most people won't know one connection type from another. All most know is the...

Loose connections caused by owners, techs, battery swappers at a parts store - you name it. Loose connections happen on all vehicles (well, maybe not Lexus) So that means every single owner of any vehicle (except Lexus) should be reporting any of their loose connections that caused their vehicle...

Similar being the key words. It's like certain other things discussed heavily in the Jeep world - symptoms the same, causes can be very different. Main battery, aux battery, blown fuse, charging system faults, loose connections and even Jeep has come out saying "check these grounds" and "check...

Mouser, Digikey, among a number of other sellers of such parts online You need the correct tool to crimp various pins and terminals as well (that's where the real money comes in)

I hope you aren't meaning report to NHTSA........ NHTSA is about safety issues. Reporting "I had electric issues and had to find a place to pull over and stop" is extremely generic. Report what? You had electric issues? And like shown above here - could be loose connection, could be a tech...

We're working on it........

None I'm aware of - I've even checked out some Bosch technical info on them and there's nothing exciting there. FCA/STAR simply say that if the IBS has a problem, there will be a code. They are suggesting if there's no code, reset it and move on, and only if there are further failures, replace...

My understanding was also that it was intended more for engine swap things for older vehicle (putting an LS in my Javelin?? HEAVEN FORBID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) or for vehicles not as complex as our JTs and JLs. There's a ton of interaction, security (what security would be given up?) - these things...

Get busy- the night is still young...........

Say your winch draws 250 amps, maybe 300 on a moderate to tougher pull. The alternator might be a 220 amp alternator - that's full rated output at speed. Most don't up the idle speed to 1800 RPM and I've seen very few alternators that actually put out 100% of their rating. We'll be optimistic...

Not sure why comparing AH is not necessary - well, maybe not necessary, but since these sit a lot for some people, they get used for camping, powering accessories and such, and add to that there's a reason Jeep installs the "larger" battery with aux switches. Batteries in our Jeeps are used for...

App doesn't track, it's not live or real-time - on the other hand, why would they need an app when the truck does that for them?
