I pulled up to an intersection, stopped, and the ESS engaged. The light turned green, I took my foot off of the brake, and before I could touch the gas, the wipers suddenly went halfway up the windshield and the Jeep . Put it in park and every time I hit the start button it would just click and the dash lights would go out.
I was just about to disengage the transmission and push it out of the way when a guy behind me offered to try and jump it. I wasn’t sure it would work but since I couldn’t get more stuck on the side of the road than I already was, we gave it a shot. Luckily it fired up, I turned off the ESS and got it home.
The main battery was the culprit and has been replaced with an AGM deep cycle/starting battery. However I’m a little concerned about whether or not I need to address the auxiliary battery.
Should I replace it as a precaution, or is it ok since the Jeep and the ESS is working as intended since replacing the main battery?
