I have a 2021 Rubicon 392 with around 7k miles, had since new. I've been having battery issues with the most recent issue where I went on vacation for 2 weeks and came back and the battery was dead. Charged it up, took it to the dealer and they checked charging system and battery and all good.
Sat for a couple days and seemed a little slow to start. Got message on dash that said Aux switches not available, battery charging. I have been keeping a trickle charger on it when it sits more than a day.
So last night in the garage, I walk by the Jeep and see the dash lights come on. I've seen this before but for some reason in my head was thinking it was lighting up because I was near it. Well key fobs are nowhere close so it's not that. Then I sit there and watch it. The shifter lights come on, then the dash lights up, then the uconnect screen comes on. All this stays on for a few seconds and then turns off. Then after 12-15 seconds, same thing happens. And this is happening over and over and over. What in the HELL is going on??
I've checked/cleaned/tightened the battery cables. I've tried leaving the Jeep unlocked and locked. Nothing makes a difference. Who knows how long this has been happening, but it has to be what is killing my battery.
if anyone has ANY idea or advice, I would REALLY appreciate it!!!
