If this was what was happening, wouldn't the load on the aux battery be consistent? What explains the aux battery voltage going up instead of being flat?
What one action separates the batteries and cranks the starter at the same instance in time? The simultaneous drop of both battery...
Are you saying that both batteries are powering everything the whole time and that the additional load of powering the starter means the main battery provides less power to the electronics and accessories, putting more load on the aux battery to power the electronics and accessories and that's...
When @Flanders posted the ESS restart oscilloscope image, I was surprised that people viewing the image were drawing exact opposite conclusions. Over the past few months I've tried to come up with other ways (without modifying or risky damage to my system) to determine what actually happens...
I'm not sure of the exact sequence, but I think the stop button gets pushed before the transmission is shifted to park, which puts the ignition in accessory mode. Then the shifter light flashes to remind the driver to shift to park, which they do and exit the vehicle not realizing they are...
The guy is still posting here, thanks for the slack.
At the time of that original post, people were still getting used to the dual battery stop start system. A common problem was to park and think the engine was turned off when it was just stopped, then not be able to jumpstart it after the...
Here's a JT with one. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/project-retro-phase-two-and-three-complete-shes-coming-together.31053/post-518338
We just drove my wife's 3.6 powered 2024 Grand Cherokee L from Des Moines to Seattle in August. We covered the same territory as you and did not have any performance issues with the 3.6.
The loud pop, sizzling noise and burning smell reminded me of this issue https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/us-investigating-781k-jeeps-over-underhood-fire-reports-wrangler-gladiator-power-steering-pump-electrical-connector-issue.85238/post-1378121.
It is hard to say what actually happened, but I thought I'd take this opportunity to bring up the N3 fuse for those that may not be aware of it, the effect it can have and the temporary work around.
The only $99 fuse I'm aware of would be the high capacity fuse array. If that actually needed replaced, that is an indication that the N3 fuse was blown and all that needed to be done was to move the N3 cable to the N4 terminal to get power back to the electrical systems. That would only take...
It took a lot of towel to prevent the water from pooling with my JL.
What worked better for me were a couple 4" foam balls, one on each side (sorry, no pics).
