Hey gang, I wanted to provide an update. I have replaced both the start/stop battery and the main battery. It drove for 60-90 minutes with no issues and the start/stop function had begun working again. By 90 minutes after replacement I was back to full on electrical storm of alerts...
Moving on from this Jeep doesn't necessarily mean not getting another Wrangler. My 12, almost 13 year old daughter has been looking forward to this Jeep when she gets her drivers license. I broached the idea of possibly getting rid of the Jeep and getting a new one and she is adamantly opposed...
Thanks. The next nice weather day I'm going to climb over and under the Jeep, chasing the wiring bundles, and will double check the fuses inspite of their assurances. I'll think about replacing the batteries too.
The CAN BUS connectors you mention; are they inside the vehicle? or on the...
Thanks for the feedback.
I dug out a 2018/2019 thread with a wire bundle abrasion issue behind the front bumper near the sway bar and asked the dealer to check that out; they say they looked through those wires and and that there are no similar abrasions.
Part of me agrees with you on...
During the 3 weeks with the dealer that checked the batteries. The one constructive thing they did was a warranty PCM update. While there was initial hope that a PCM fix would solve the electrical storms, it ultimately has not.
That was the dealership's first guess so they tested the batteries and said it is definitively not a battery issue.
My guess is that it is a grounding issue with a wire bundle. They spent hours checking fuses and chasing wires but haven't found a culprit.
If we ever find the issue, I'm...
I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler, built July 2018, which started having electrical issues this past November (2022) and have gotten worse effectively limiting the use of my Jeep to near home, low risk trips (groceries, commute, but not airport).
The Jeep periodically (1 out of 5 trips) has what I...
I had the same problem in Northern Virginia, where my local servicing dealership didn't want to handle my paint warranty claim and repair because I did not purchase through them. After many conversations and several weeks they finally relented.
They said that dealer policy is that they won't...
I just added some GoRhino side steps to my JLUR to make life easier for my kids. Amazing how much more solid the steel is in the factory rock rails than these steps.
The steps are supposed to double as sliders but they aren’t nearly as durable as factory.
Nonetheless, I’ll need the steps...
I have a wheel set for sale in NoVA. My parents are down near Charlottesville, I’ll likely be down that way in the next month or so.
