Check your fuses

[Jeepsk8]

After reading all the stories about ESS faults and being stranded on the side of the road, a discussion about fuses not being fully seated in the fuse box came up. Easy enough, I'll just trot right on out there and see for myself. Sure enough, at least 80% of the fuses and relays were not fully seated in their sockets. Do yourself a favor and check it out real quick, it doesn't take 5 minutes to do.

Yeah, he’s talking about the fuse box next to the battery, under the hood.

Pressed down on each fuse and most will snap in place. You’ll hear and feel the click.

Checked my JL 2dr. on delivery day and there were 7 fuses that were not pressed down all the way.

I'm gonna check them all first thing. Sounds like one of the best ways to avoid potential electrical problems, to the best of ones ability.

Can't believe it, most of mine were not seated, fire the fuse guy at the factory great thread

Maybe this should be added to the dealer checklist for pickup?

Thanks to this forum that’s the first thing I did at the dealership when I picked it up. About 10 or so we’re not pushed in completely

This was brilliant. Thank you.

I've added this to my delivery checklist.

• Check fuses and relays. Make sure they are all seated.

Wonder if these fuse boxes are assembled in Mexico? They are upset about the USA renegotiating NAFTA so they decided to cause havoc on the electrical system. LOL.

I checked and all my fuses were fully seated.
