I am inquiring about switch and let's see if they'll honor it. I will also do more research to trace the connection to make sure everything is correct per @djthumper and @kb5zcr recommendations. I did quickly watch a install video and noticed they also had this blue cable - based on the...

Unfortunately they only fix things for original owner with receipts, I’m the second.

Update time folks... picked her up from the dealer. They swapped both main and aux, covered under warranty. Runs just like she did before. ESS now works as normal, 14V while driving then 12.4V when stopped. If I do disengage ESS every time I get in the car, will that cause issues again with aux...

Will read up on all of it when I get it back... still there, got a video message of the tech saying he recommends front/rear diff service and transfer case service. Since it was bought used at 31k miles, I'm not sure if it has been done or if it needs it. Based on what I'm reading, I could...

Oh interesting... well then, it must be connected to the aux which has been dead, because neither the fog or winch work. I hope this all doesn't yield a call from dealer saying warranty is voided and I need to pay for battery and labor... doubt there's any way to push back on it too... I would...

Figures but doesn’t work, must be connection then. Just wanted to double check there wasn’t another route…

Thanks, that’s why I try to read up on the forum and other sites as much as possible. I didn’t think the winch would have any effect on the batteries since it has its on power unit sitting on top. The fog lamps I overlooked, figured it was wired together with winch, silly assumption. I just...

Bought this used, first time jeep owner. Do you know how I can turn on the fog lights based on this set up? I tried messing with the light setting on the driver side corner panel, but nothing seems to activate it. How could it be powered? I thought maybe from the winch battery above?

I honestly don’t know, I would need to get under it to see where it leads. Maybe the winch with fog lights? Bought it used, only one owner. I was under the impression the fog lights on the front bumper were powered by the winch, could be wrong.

Thanks everyone... ended up having MOPAR send a tow, requested flat tow since in garage and flat bed probably wouldn't work with 8ft clearance. They should be here in an hour or so, hope they actually bring flat tow capable... going to pull the red string and get it on neutral. It's pouring out...

I’ll get a meter tomorrow. Are you suggesting I clamp to both f1 and the main? Or directly to f1 only? Edit: I misread your message, parallel should be its current state, meaning it does both at once. Copy - eyes are burning from research.

Thanks man, you’ve been great. Vehicle stuck in park now won’t turn off. I’m in a parking garage too, not much room for a tow truck and narrow gate getting out of garage, but we’ll see. I see some people charge their aux by using the negative on main battery and positive directly to first post...

20min connected to donor car … voltage is lower. Now it won’t let me lock it or turn off.. says it’s not on park but it is.. great!

While I sit here waiting… do you guys recommend trying the relays just in case? Which ones?

Yeah, since the day I left dealer (April) I turned it off and it never turned back on since - I was actually happy with it because I would need to disengage every single time, thought Jeep figured some people don't like it and can choose to keep on or off indefinitely..

What would cause the battery to be trashed after only 2 1/2 years? 2021 with 32k miles, original OEM battery... thought they lasted around 5 years. Don't have any mods that would put strain on it either.

Fair points all around Tim and Tim - I did notice when I turned it off and back to run, the voltage reader was on already and it went from 10.5V down to 9.5V, so could just be weak and not dead yet... may be best to replace it all together. I didn't know about the start stop page to be honest...

Will do - if it works, do you recommend getting new batteries or it should be good as long as I drive it and let alternator is doing its job? Also, I saw a tread that a guy's mechanic said if you dont use the ESS system (I keep mine off at all times), it could cause the alternator not to...

I just did that actually… been sitting in here with it on RUN, and battery voltage moving between 9.5V and 9.6V… maybe I need to let the donor sit longer and see if it changes? I did it in a rush before leaving on an 5 day trip and only had them two connected for 5 minutes. right after I took...

Has anyone experienced this before? 2021 JT Overland 32.4K miles. This video was taken while I had a donor car plugged into my battery in case it was just a weak battery. When I first got in car, all lights came on as usual, break lights work, stereo etc. Once I pressed break and start, it did...
