Check your nuts - battery terminal nuts, that is

[DaVikes]

I just got a new '19 JLUR at the beginning of September, and installed a winch a couple weeks ago. While I was installing the winch, I was surprised at how easy it was to loosen the negative battery terminal auxiliary post nut. So I checked them all the nuts on the battery connections. None of them were as tight as I thought they should be. The nuts on the fender connections were fine. Has anyone else noticed this?

I had the exact same problem. Just purchased a 2020 JLUR last month. When I pulled on the wires connecting the battery, it pulled straight off.

More than one person on the line failed for that to happen. I build vehicles, not Jeep but one known for quality, and here that battery cable would be tightened and then a second check and marker checked so a when it got to inspection it would have another set of eyes on the check of the check. All critical systems have multiple checks.
