Electrical Issues After Driving Through Snowy/Slushy Roads

[Rich]

Hello All,

I've got 11k miles on my 2019 Rubicon Unlimited. Driving home in a snowstorm with slushy roads on Sunday night and suddenly all the warning lights started intermittently flashing, including the shift lever lights. The engine was cutting in and out as well. Warnings on the dash included Check Engine, Throttle Assembly, Shift Indicator, cruise error, auto start/stop error, etc.

Took it in to the dealer and they found 52 codes had been triggered. They've had it for a day and a half with no resolution.

To say I'm disappointed that this would happen from simply driving on slushy roads is an understatement.

Has anyone experienced anything like this and did you find a resolution? Thanks in advance.

Have them disconnect both batteries and load test them individually. It sounds like you may have at least one weak battery. If so, insist that both get replaced. A strong battery doesn't like being leaned on by a weak one, and it may cause a repeat of this issue down the road.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Also, harness connectors and grounds ; I believe a loose or bent harness pin was responsible for similar issues , after replacing batteries didn't cure it

It’s a sign from above to move to Florida.
