Will do! Actually, have all necessary parts on order. Also, thanks to your previous posts.
Got it. Sorry, I missed that part.
Yes, they are regular fuses. You should be able to check from the battery or N2 (the battery connects to N2) to the rest of the terminals.
@Notams@Rhinebeck01 (or anyone that knows) - What is the difference between the 68368853AA and 68368854AA (tow package). I'm asking because the previous owner self installed the tow package and I'm not sure he did it correctly. Starting with attaching something(I'm assuming trailer brake wiring) to the Z Case Fuse Array.
I had to bring the Jeep into the dealership yesterday for a completely dead battery(s) even after having been on the trickle charger for 24 hrs (still installed with all connections intact). Required a jump to get it started.
Anyway, dealership told me that someone had over tightened an add on wire to the TIPM and that they broke the fuse box. That was the cause for the discharge. Of course, not covered under warranty and they said I needed the entire fuse box replaced for $700. I told them to send me a pic of the damage. Called them back and told them I will fix it in 10 minutes and for $50 in parts with a new Z Fuse Array. They started to back pedal a bit by saying "Oh yeah. We know about that but the plastic is broken and FCA won't let us attach that with broken plastic". Right. So I told them to just put it back together and I will pick it up.
So with that said, I am going to order a new Z Case Fuse Array and after reading your post, I now realize there are two different types. One for tow package, one without. So wondering what the actual difference is between the two. I can look at the number on the old broken one when I get it back but like I said, the previous owner may not have done it right.
Thanks
@Rhinebeck01 - I have one JL with the tow package and one without. Can I get the 54 one and use it in either one or should I get one of each type and just keep it with the appropriate Jeep? Not sure if the wiring gage to the fan would still be the same or if it would be heavier on the tow package wiring harness.

Do you expect to not pay for them diagnosing the problem? It likely took a few hundred dollars worth of man hours for them to get it sorted out.
Yes, I do when the vehicle is still covered in warranty. They want to charge because a fuse is a consumable (I agree) and because it is a consumable they want me to pay for service.

And then your Jeep gets flat towed back to your house.
