@MikeosoThus far, the main battery appears to be fine, and the ESS absence just started a week ago. I talked to the dealership, and they said bring it for a check and possible replacement. I'm still way inside warranty. They say replacing the aux battery is a 4-5 hour job...is that possible?
FCA recommends... tells the techs.... the passenger side fender liner is to be peeled back to access the Aux battery. That is the way most techs do the deed.
A few Techs, if the Service Manager does not gripe, will pull the whole fender flare which is easier/faster..
Anyway, either way, it can be done in an hour or so.... accessing the Aux battery and swapping it out. Even this 72 yo fruck, has done it in a bit over an hour and out in the rain to boot. 8-)
Ask that they separate out the batteries and test BOTH and replace as needed... My goal would be for replacement of both.
Regardless, it will be covered under warranty so don't fret the time frame..
