What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[Hootbro]

Installed the rear arb bumper the to match the front. The license plate lights were a pain to switch over but I like the look!

Looks good. I agree on the license plate light assemblies, they are fiddly to mess with and remove.

Added a Chinese knockoff low bar to my Mopar bumper. Other than sheen and texture, it'll pass. I'll probably paint it Mopar bumper black when the weather warms up a bit more, as I'm guessing it'll start to rust sooner than later if I don't.

So I only drove mine today, no mods, but when I started it up to leave work and tried to turn on one my auxiliary switches, I got a warning that they were not currently available because the battery was charging. What the hell. Does this mean my batteries are about to go kaput? I've had it only 15 months. It's my daily driver so it runs at least 15 miles each way 5 days a week. Do you think the dealer would replace them just by this warning or would it have to get worse. Don't really want to spend the money yet for new batteries with it being under warranty. Just curious anyone's thoughts and experience. Also the stop/start feature has not worked in a bit.

Yes, the voltage of the main battery is below the needed voltage, and that is one of the symptoms.

Thanks I kinda thought that. Guess I'll swing by the dealer and see what they say. Hope I don't have issues as I didn't buy it locally because nobody had what I wanted when I was in the market.

They can test both batteries, and let you know which one is dying, can't say if they'll do that no charge though. With both our JLU and JT, when the aux battery died, it gave the @SS warning, and when the main was dying, the aux switches were the warning given.

A great system for when you need your winch or compressor in a clutch situation and your Aux switches let you down. I thought only aerospace engineers were clueless to the demands of the end-user.

Batteries 99% sure

The only waning I've gotten was the aux switches today. No s/s warning yet. I would think they would check it free of charge since it's under warranty and a 2023 with only 14,400 miles on it.

Definitely give it a shot. Doesn't hurt to try.

I agree. They started working after about 2 minutes of the engine running.

I'm wondering if disabling the SS with my Z Automotive Tazer Mini will keep the aux battery from dying and taking the main battery with it? Anyone have an idea?

If the remote start doesn't work, that's another strong indicator too. Been true with my JLUR Everytime the battery is toast

Learned today I look goofy with these @ORACLElights prerunner lights bc after 6 or 7 months I already had one burn out and now my Jeep looks gap toothed riding around.
