^ What is the cause and fix?

This sounds like the auxiliary battery acting up. If memory serves me right... my in-laws 21 Jeep did that same thing.

So I just put my molar steel bumper on and got in my car the next morning. Made it ten houses and everything started to freak out. Lights flashed speakers crackled, every warning message displayed like I was simultaneously pressing every button I could and then the windshield wipers started to move up and down in a slow creepy way. So called a tow truck and had them tow it to the dealer and they are going to fix it. Same thing happened to my friends 2021 wrangler when he got it so I wasn't too worried about it but man I just got it and now it's being whisked away by a tow truck.

Some have reported of poorly seated fuses from the factory.

I mean, this is the EARL thread.... He'll need to change the color from Earl to Cactus. That puppy will be back up in running before the paint dries

They haven't diagnosed mine yet but for my friend it was a loose ground or a loose cable in the charging system. They needed up replacing a relay and the battery since it had been fully discharged by that time. He hasn't had a single problem since.

That's a ford color which means I would then have a bronco then I have to deal with the eco boost motor trying to launch rods into near orbit.

I’m sure he was being facetious.

I’m sure he was being facetious.

Im sure too since he's on this forum but any opportunity to poke fun of the eco boost should not be passed up. And this is coming from a guy who has owned 7 fords over the years and still has one in the garage.

While being a pain, this is exactly what the factory warranty is for.
One could wish that dealers would be more in tune with factory ‘neglects’ and ensure that their PDI team may be alert enough to double check possible bad installations before the Jeep is delivered to the customer. However that would involve cognitive thinking………

. I agree this is exactly what a warranty is for.
While I'm a little bummed about car the dealer is treating me well and I understand that it's not their fault but it is their problem. Having said that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a friend or anyone for that matter to gillman jeep in Houston. Good people.

Mishaps happen - the difference is always how they’re handled.

Man, This is almost exactly what i have on order except the bumper. Got anymore pics?

The sun finally came out here, so was able to take some additional. Again, these seem accurate to what I see in person. Not as much variance in direct sunlight as I expected.

Man that is really nice. The front shot looks awesome.
