I hope they get you sorted out. Obviously there's a lot of things that could have gone wrong electronically, but I've seen more than a couple reports similar to yours that ended up being one or both of the batteries.thank you JimLee . I had hit those fuses after the 2000 mile spike hit. everything felt secure.
Bad batteries at such low mileage and a 2020? I know batteries are born to die but would expect to last longer than these seem? I'm new to Jeep so I'm still learning.I hope they get you sorted out.

Basher,Bad batteries at such low mileage and a 2020? I know batteries are born to die but would expect to last longer than these seem? I'm new to Jeep so I'm still learning.
Yea, seen a few reports of batteries failing within days of driving the vehicle off the lot. I think its because of how long they sit connected to the vehicle during shipment, distribution, on the lot, etc. All modern vehicles have parasitic draw from the factory because of all the computers, let it sit long enough and the battery will deplete to the point that it either can't be charged or will not charge properly. The small ESS motorcycle battery seems to be especially problematic for some. I also think that Jeeps that are commonly sitting undriven for long periods of time, not on a tender, are going to have problems. I shitcanned the factory batteries and went with a dual full size battery setup but that's an expensive option and I also need it for powering things on extended offroading trips. I also don't use the shitshow ESS system and have it disabled with an aftermarket device.Bad batteries at such low mileage and a 2020?

Well, I guess we were typing at the same time. Glad you got your problem sorted out!Basher,
All vehicles have a parasitic drain. Meaning there is always a draw on the battery for electrical box's . Battery more often die on car lots than in your driveway. If the dealer failed to start and move them in 30 days the battery will have to be jumped off. After the battery dies several times it will loose recharging ability and will need to be replaced. A low battery will cause the circuit board not to function properly and that will cause lights on the dash to flash on and off.

Thanks for rundown. I guess I have a ton to learn when our Jeep finally comes in as we have had ‘dumb’ vehicles with less computer stuff for the last 18 years.
