Failed 60Amp Fuse Array

[Dyolfknip74]

My point exactly. The people you speak of will never replace their batteries on their own and will never blow their fuse array in the process. You simply won't see that. You'll see every other way to blow the fuse array, but not that way.

It's not "everyone is just like me". It's "everyone I know", and none of them think a battery replacement requires a dealership visit. Blowing the fuse array in the process is a common thing. Almost a rite of passage. They also live and learn, replacing the fuse array themselves so you wont see that either.

I understand people do buy Jeeps, use them like cars and run to the dealership for the slightest of issues. I don't know those people. They're your problem and also your limited perspective.

I cant imagine arguing with a dude, doing the job, daily......about his actual job and thinking I am right.
You need to Google the difference between "anecdotal" and "empirical" evidence and how it applies here.

I don't think it's physically possible to blow the fuse array during replacement unless you go through the wheel well and touch both terminals together while the primary is still connected.


You bring your Jeep to me because you can't fix it. That's why you go to the dealership. I see enough of these vehicles to diagnose 95% of all vehicles strictly from the repair order's customer complaint. You're paying me for my experience in knowing what the hell is going on, because I've seen it already. Just like I've seen dozens upon dozens of blown fuse arrays from customers who don't even know how to open their hood, let alone short and blow it.

It happens every time someone takes the positive lead off of the main battery first, shoves it off the side and hits ground with it. Immediately grounding the aux battery positive.

I did exactly this. Then I learned. No dealer visit required.

Shit happens, no big deal

If I can pull up how many fuse arrays are not sold to dealerships, I would.

Every one I’ve ever bought was not sold to a dealership.

You genuinely believe that individual owners are more likely to repair their own fuse panel than not? I have people pay me to install wiper blades. The public is not what you think it is.

Agreed The microcosm of Jeep owners on this forum are not an indication of the nature of the majority of Jeep owners. But we filter the world through our own eyes and beliefs. I’ll venture to say the majority of people on the forum don’t actually do the most minimal maintenance or repairs themselves.

considering there's a massive tech shortage and maybe 1/10 are actually knowledgable of what they're doing i'm going to say 99% of jeep owners don't even know how to open their hood.

Well I don’t blame them, they can’t find the lever to pop the hood at all!
