AUX Switches DEAD

[rfg9585]

Turn on my lights last night with the Halloween theme and went back out to turn all off, but they were already off. Checked this am and none of my aux switches come on. Looked at the F93 fuse for AUX 1 and its fine. Does anyone know if there is an all inclusive fuse that drives all since none are working? If so, where is it:?

Not aware of a single fuse for the whole she-bang, but I have heard of a bad Aux battery disabling them.

First thought is that golf cart battery.

Mine have shut down due to leaving my fridge (that lacks a low-voltage shutoff) running. Is your battery simply low?

 

[rfg9585]

Shouldn't be low battery, its started right up this am.

How can I troubleshoot or is this a trip to the dealer requirement?

Guess I'll eat crow. Never would have thought this!!!! Went out and started and seen this message on dash. Is this referring to the other battery underneath the main one?

Yes , the aux battery is going south soon you will see all sorts of codes ?

Exactly what I was about point out. Yeah the tiny battery under the main.

True story…

Replacing the aux battery is one of the few maintenance items where the Ecodiesel shines versus the other engines. EVERYTHING else is cramped under that hood.

I'll channel my inner @Rhinebeck01 for a moment and suggest you replace both batteries at the same time. Doing only one is a recipe for ongoing battery problems.

Only 1.5 years old and still under warranty. To me something the dealer should deal with, no?

Maybe the truck shut them off before battery died. Now it has to recharge before they’ll operate again? Protection working possibly

Yeah you could do that, pretty sure the replacement battery only has a 1 year warranty - it is when they replace the main battery. You'll also most likely have to leave it with them all day (or longer).

Honestly, go to the trouble of putting in a Genesis Dual Battery System.
