Hey everyone,
I have a rather strange issue that I have not seen elsewhere on the forum that I am hoping someone can help with. I just installed the Mopar AUX switch kit in my 2019 JLU and I used the Tazer JL (version 11.1.5) to enable the switches in the Uconnect menu. Double checked my work, checked for voltage and the AUX switches lighting up. All was working well until I noticed my ESS system now continually states "Start/Stop Not Ready Battery Charging" and the ESS is entirely disabled. Some might consider this a blessing, but something is not right. I did not have time to mess with it last night and on my drive to work this morning I got the ESS error light pop on the dash after driving for about an hour and change. I pulled over into a parking lot, shut the Jeep down and restarted and the error went away. The ESS system in the dash still stated the same "Start/Stop Not Ready Battery Charging" which I thought was odd that it would continue stating that after an hour plus drive. Voltage reading appeared normal anywhere from 13.8-14.1.
Fast forward to when I got home tonight and after a 1.5hr drive the ESS light did not come back on so I started investigating. I am aware that the orange wire in the AUX switch kit can be a pain so I went and ran through the entire instructions manual a second time to make sure I did not miss something. I know that there can be an ESS error that occurs when this kit is installed if the orange wires aren't seated. After troubleshooting for some time I ended up undoing the coding changes with the Tazer for the AUX switch enable and took it for a drive. Immediately the ESS system jumped back to life and was back working the moment I left the driveway and no longer am I getting the "Start/Stop Not Ready Battery Charging" in the dash.
I thought this was odd and tried to search for the issue online and came up empty. I have since attempted to enable the AUX switches via the Tazer JL again and got the same results. I even went as far as depinning the two orange wire connectors and sticking them directly to one another instead of using the provided plugs and got no change. I ended up going through all of my work a third time and couldn't find anything wrong with the install. Is this a Tazer issue? Do I need to take it to the dealer for the flash or what? My last idea is to flash the tazer to the latest version and see if that has any impact.
Completely out of ideas here. Any help is appreciated.
