Jeep will not power all the way off?

[Willys2Gladiator]

Just started today. Turn off Jeep and these all stay light and will not go out.
Turned off/on several times drive it, unhooked main battery.
All these have been on now for 2.5 hrs.

I had this on my Mazda CX-5. Had to keep trying to slam the gear shifter in order for it to register it was in park. Needed to replace the transmission sensor. Mazda wouldn’t cover it even though it was a known issue. Cost me around $250.

I had this happen on a 2014 RAM 1500 I had a few years ago. The instrument cluster did the same thing, would not shut off. I ended up disconnecting the battery for the night so it wouldn’t drain and then took it to the dealer the next day. Of all things, it ended up being a door sensor that was faulty and so it thought the door was open. Once dealer swapped that, took care of the problem. Hope it’s something that easy for you too.

Disconnecting the battery means both correct? I can throw a battery tender on for the night.

With JT running, try pulling fuse F97 for 15 seconds and then reinserting it and see if that ends the issue.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Yes, this worked.

So what did pulling this fuse reset?

The "Dealer Needs To Make An Alimony Payment" sensor.

Fuse 97 is, "Radio / TBM."
Whatever TBM is...

Pulling F97 like you did causes UConnect to reboot. You probably will not see UConnect get hung up again. If so, remember F97 pull.

And what the devil does the Uconnect system have to do with the ignition?
Silly Jeep...

I encourage JL/JT owners to take a little white out and mark F97 in the PDC (Power Distribution Center)

You'll over time appreciate you did so...

The tender amp draw will probably exceed the rating. Be careful, I have seen a few charger fires/explosions.

Tag for later for me to mark

Interesting. What draw rating is needed. Any suggestions on an appropriate tender?

Thanks again.

@Willys2Gladiator

What brand/model battery tender / maintainer do you use on your motorcycle?... More then likely it will also do a terrific / safe job on your JT, too.

Perfect.
This is what I'm using currently. Have the quick disconnect pigtails hooked up and stored beside battery.

If you keep the F97 fuse pulled, what else do you lose.

One of the biggest hang ups I'm having with buying a modern truck is the surveillance.
