Mine was the hood switches.

Disconnecting for twenty to thirty minutes isn't necessary to reset the IBS. Unbolt it from the battery post, disconnect the harness connector for twenty seconds, then put it back together.

I like this! But highlighting the removal of the ibs connector for 20 sec isn't doing much good. Removing the ibs from the battery like it says is a better option. It doesn't make sense to reinstall the ibs on a less than fully charged battery.Disconnecting for twenty to thirty minutes isn't necessary to reset the IBS.

Glad you like it, but you obviously need to read my post again. I never said to only disconnect the IBS connector, nor did I highlight anything that says to do only that. I highlighted and it states, "The IBS can be initiated into a learning curve by completely disconnecting the IBS from the battery, and disconnecting harness connector for 20 seconds." Please note the part in bold. It's not saying to remove all battery cables from the battery and disconnect the harness connector, it's telling you to completely disconnect the IBS from the battery, ie, unbolt and remove the IBS from the one battery post and disconnect the IBS harness connector for 20 seconds.I like this!

Leaving the ibs installed and only disconnecting the ibs connector and batteries is sufficient, giving time for any remaining charge to dissipate.
One fender ground and one connector is far less work than disassembling the main negative post cables and cleaning it all up before reassembling. That takes time too.
I like that!! Disconnecting the IBS connector and removing it from the battery! Perfect! It does not help much for the computer to learn the SOC from a discharged battery so what is the point? This is a kick the can repair procedure. It even says " enough" and I take that to get by. Let the system discharge, charge the batteries and reconnect. Forget the 20 minutes! By the time you are done charging, it will have been 20 minutes. Can't do that in 20 seconds!Glad you like it, but you obviously need to read my post again.

I also stated, " Disconnecting for twenty to thirty minutes isn't necessary to reset the IBS. Unbolt it from the battery post, disconnect the harness connector for twenty seconds, then put it back together. " At no point did I recommend to only disconnect the IBS harness connector, nor did I recommend to completely remove all battery cables from the battery.
Leaving the IBS installed on the battery and instead disconnecting both cables is not what the procedure calls for, nor does it need to be disconnected for twenty to thirty minutes for a reset. Following the factory procedure is perfectly sufficient.
There's a number of people here who don't understand and can't stand my ADHD personality - so they block me. Not your problem. You caused no problems at all.Thanks guys for the guidance, and sorry this post has created some hard feelings.

Hence, since ESS is such a big issue here, and with JEEPS, I kind of wish there was a definitive post, ONE resource for all the problems.
Especially for us olde farts, who are grumpy, and smell like bad Brussell Sprouts.
The plan for tomorrow, is to begin some wenchin'!
The Overlord passed inspection, so the winter tires are coming off, summer tires are going on.
I picked up a set of Bill Stein shock absorbers.
I have no idea who this guy Bill is, but his shocks are purty, and seem to have good reviews.
The boggle on them seems to be boot North, or South.
Back to the ESS, whilst wenchin', going to disconnect the IBS, as directed, as the above posts suggests.
Gonna put a tickle charger on the battery, although both are gnu.
Change both hood switches, as I don't know which one is for ESS.
Once the wenchin' is Don, the last thing I will assemble is the battery, and wish happy thoughts that the Eye-Dee-Ten-Tee light goes out.
Thanks to all for the help!
