The consensus seems to be that the voltages you are seeing - high 12s to high 13s with occasional mid 14s are the result of a properly functioning system. The voltage seems to go high on deceleration and if the IBS shows the main battery needs charging. Otherwise high 12s to high 13s based on current system demands. This is based on the observation of others, for the 3 years I've been monitoring my JL, it's rarely been anything but the mid 14s. I did end up getting a warranty replacement on the main battery a few month ago right before the 3 year warranty expired. The 3 year old aux battery tested ok.Did you ever come up with where the cluster and off-road pages come up with their voltage measurement?
Mine always is running 13.7 to 14.2 or even as high as 14.7 when I look. Today I was watching coordinates and altitudes and other stuff and noticed that my JT was running 12.8 down to 12.6 at times - it was sort of spooky as it was a hot day, we were booking it back home and still a state away from home when I noticed this - I saw your message and thought - oh, crap, hours from home on a nice warm day, we need the AC and a fuse is blown? But it made it hours and miles and later when I checked again it was running 13.8 volts.
Bugs me.
But - obviously that fuse is ok!
The thing about the fuse blowing is that there's no indication or feedback that there is a problem until the aux battery is drained. And I doubt that it's ever blown on it's own during normal operation, I think it's always a result of shorting out the disconnect main battery positive cable.
