Yep, I got that recall on my '22, crappy Bosch fuel pump that might internally self destruct. It took them a long while to find and source a replacement, I had to wait and pray for about 7 months before they got me in.
LOVE IT! How fitting in with the original theme.
Great! Dodged a bullet. Do, please, try to keep more fuel in it - even those of us with gassers sometimes get a bit, well.......... we should do better (don't tell my wife I've gotten a bit below 1/4 on my gas Jeep! She'll really give it to me)
Being a diesel - you've literally checked all of the wiring that a few of them seem to have issue with?
I don't typically run it low. I was in Washington on the coast where the fuel prices are stupid now (not unlike CA). I was only way with the motorhome down the coast into Oregon where I can fuel the Jeep and Motorhome for about $1.50/g less. I wasn't planning on driving but more than a mile and on my way to a gas station to just put a couple gallons in it when this happened. Not typical. Not planning on it again, but at least the fuel was not the problem.
What happened to you, sounds pretty similar to what happened to me, Thanksgiving weekend of 2023. With the exception of the low fuel
. About a half a mile from my house, as I was almost at a stop sign, the engine sputtered and died. It restarted and I was able to round the corner when it died again. It restarted for a couple of seconds, just enough to get past someoneās driveway. I tried restarting it again when the poltergeist showed up. It was similar to what you said, about wipers and lights going crazy. Didnāt wanna deal with it that night so I disconnected and isolated both negative battery cables, removed the IBS, and walked home. I watched some YouTube videos on the topic. Lite Brite channel specifically, had good info. I went back to my rig in the morning and took a jumper box with me. After hooking up the jumper box, the vehicle did start. As soon as I removed one of the cables from the jumper, it immediately died. Right about that time a fellow jeeper pulled up. Thankfully, he was familiar with what was going on. He carried a 1ā long, terminated battery cable, for just such an emergency. He explained that the Z tray, (fuse array), had a blown fuse and wouldnāt stay running unless you jumped N2 and N3, on the Z tray. When he was done, I hooked up the jumper box and it fired right up and stayed running. I went to the dealer and had to leave it overnight while they did some research. They were unfamiliar with what was wrong so, they called corporate and an engineer diagnosed it as such. They said the Z tray, usually blows fuses on start up. Or at least in this situation it did, as I restarted several times. Thankfully, it was still under warranty. In addition to the Z tray, they replaced both batteries. Second time for battery replacements. I no longer do short drives with the JT as that was the real culprit in my case. Donāt need to beat a dead horse on that topic, so I wonāt. I keep it on a battery tender daily and havenāt had an issue since then. Iām planning on keeping a spare Z tray in my rig.
