OK so went mud riding while being pulled out a hole, got a warning for low battery voltage.(Alternator shorted was my guess). Ordered new alternator installed. Couldn't get alternator to send charge to pdm. Assumed pcm malfunctioning bypassed that got charge to pdm. Battery voltage still dropping. No clue why definitely not an electrical side mechanic or mechanic at all for that matter. I'm at a loss. Read that could possibly be pdm fusible. This is on a 19 jlu moab and yes I have aux battery as well.

Check and test your high amperage fuse array to see if you have blown the N3 fuse. It is located in the under hood fuse box, has a number of nuts holding it down, and looks like a long black and silver strip:

Check all of them, but N3 is a common one to blow. It may not be the fuse at all, but easy to eliminate as a possibility.

So for an update. I found n7 on z fuse array blown now gotta wait for one to come in so I can swap it and see some progress hopefully
