    F.Y.I. I just changed my battery:
    For a while my remote start have been acting weird, at one point my gas cap would pop open by itself.
    Finally the battery died, no start things started blinking
    Tried to jump it, didn’t work
    Replaced battery but it still didn’t start but had power and engine light and charge system error.
    I didn’t unplug the F9 fuse.
    Found this channel and followed his instructions, car is back to normal!
    Thanks Brandon, you’re awesome!!

    I wonder how many people who replaced the stock 12 volt with one that actually works did it this way. My 24 4xe Sahara had to be jumped last week with 309 miles on it and 4 days old. Dealer replaced the battery with another mopar. Next time it fails I’m replacing with a 3rd part battery and will remove this fuse first. Thanks.

    Thanks for the video. Highly appreciated.
    Quick question, please. What if we disconnect battery without removing IDCM fuse?
    In detail, the reason why I am asking is that I ordered Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe (assuming same system as Wrangler 4xe) from USA to Europe, the logistic company disconnected battery before loading car to the ship. But when we opened container in destination port, car didn't start.
    They usually disconnect car because of safety and in order to ensure car battery didn't drain our of energy as it takes about 2 months to arrive.
    However, as I know assume source of the problem was not removing the fuse.
    Anyway, as it already happened what can I do?
    Just charging car by cable would be enough? Or does car's hybrid system needs repair now? Would IDCM system would suffer from that? How to check that? Any advise could help please. As detailed/long answer please to my particular situation please?

    So if there is no alternator, what is keeping the 12 volt system alive once the large hybrid battery is drained. I assumed the 4xe still had an alternator to keep 12 volt and recharge large battery slowly.

    Does it charge the 12v even when the car is off? If we had a fridge and didn’t drive for a day or two would the 12v discharge, or would the traction battery continually top it off?

      Also keen to understand this. I recently went on a road trip and had my fridge/freezer plug into the permanent 12V in the rear of the Jeep, but daren't leave it plugged in overnight or even when stopped (thought it would quickly drain the battery). I did have a deep cycle battery with me to switch too, so it worked out ok, but i would love to know if it is possible to leave it plugged into the Jeep without causing any issues?

    Thanks for all of these great videos. I picked up my 4xe just last month. It's so great, and I appreciate all the items you've covered - they really helped me decide to go with the Hybrid Wrangler.
    I'm adding an LED Spare Tire 3rd Brake light - before even starting, I'm guessing I should do this, allow the capacitors to 'power down' (get all the way to 0v) and then install the additional brake light? (Then, once complete, re-connect everything.)

  • @fredym.3728

    This video is inaccurate. It clearly states in the manual that when the hood is opened, the high voltage charging system is disabled. You can verify this by opening the hood while plugged in and it will stop charging. No car manufacturer would allow such an obvious liability where a person could get electrocuted by simply changing a battery.

    Just bought a 2024Jeep 4xe. I know nothing. When plugged in does IDCM charge 12v from the plug or do the electrons first go to the hi V battery THEN to the dc-dc conveter, THEN to the 12v. I ask because if I connect accessories to the 12v, will the 12v keep drawing from the hi V battery whether plugged in or not, so I can run my accessories off of the 12v until the hi V is drained? Or maybe the hiV just trickles the 12v which is not enough to keep accessories powered? Jeep gives us a stepdown power cord with 4 120v plug in receptacles but it only works outside the Jeep. I want to know if i can power accessories off the hi v from inside the jeep, like a fridge or heater (17kW hrs)

    Do you happen to know if F09 is a Micro 2 fuse type or something even weirder? I'm considering using a fuse tap and switch installed through the top of the box to mimic removing the fuse. I'm going to have the Rugged Ridge snorkel in the way of removing that cover, so I need a quick and easy way to disable the IDCM when disconnecting the 12v battery.

    hi Brandon, just coming across your video now but after I've had the local shop install an alarm and the Genesis Dual Battery system. I'm pretty sure my 4xe was their first and I'm hoping they had removed the F09 fuse. If not, should I replace the F09 fuse to be safe? Also, I'm now going to try and install the Spod and roof lights to the rack, do I need to power down the 12v and remove the F09 fuse to be safe? Thanks and hope all is well!

    Hey brother, I love your videos. I’ve had so many issues with the charging system. A month after having the IDCM replaced, and now my turtle light, got stranded and no movement whatsoever. I’m letting the dealer know what it could be, but I’m also concerned as to why it would have died overnight? Out of curiosity, what is the required battery CCA for replacement?

    @Brandon Haneline I know you're planning on running this experiment, but your experiment on running the house, and your other experiment with the fully dead battery, sure do make it seem like the "engine" has to be "on" for the IDCM to provide any power back to the 12v lead-acid battery. In which case this fuse removal step doesn't seem necessary?

    Folks, just read your owner’s manual, the section on storing your jeep. The manual says to disconnect negative battery cable. It DOES NOT say anything about removing fuses.
    Your 4xe has a built-in safety feature that disables the circuitry when you open your hood. I know this because my jeep told me so via onscreen warning messages saying battery cannot be charged while hood is open.
