I'm in East Tn just below Knoxville and my wife and I took flowers up to her family graveyard near the Ky line. I'm driving a 2018 JL with a 4 cyl turbo and automatic. To make things short- guess what happened when I tried to start it up. No Key just a fob. Just click with nothing. You know they routine well. After waiting for almost 2 hrs for my roadside assistance to get me a rollback, he hauled us back to our dealer and there we sit. The dealer had their Delivery boy to bring us home. That was Monday and today is Thursday and still nothing. #1 my first Jeep and #2 my last Jeep. Only have 11370 miles on it and that was trips to Kokomo for my Brother-in-law's funeral. Not to this post you made: I love it. Very informative. I'm a Vietnam Vet , Jet Engine Tech and a Street Rodder but this threw me for a loop. Thanks and again with good documentation like this it is like having a Motor Manual in hand again. God Bless.
When you disconnected the aux negative and the fuse it should have cleared the alert off your dash. If it didn’t then just disconnect all the negative posts from the battery and separate them for a few minutes replace the main negative battery terminal while keeping the aux negative isolated and ensure your fuse is removed and it will clear your codes from your dash.
eTourque..it's the only way. You still have ESS but no stupid Auxillary (motorcycle) battery. During Stop/Stop you have an electric 48V hybrid battery.
I have a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it also has the Stop/Start feature, I thought I could get used to it, but then I realized its just wearing down the starter, the battery and maybe a few other things. Which would mean more repair work down the road. Not happening! Luckily for me, there is a single wire connected to the battery that controls the Start/Stop, I disconnected it and taped it out of the way. Now all I get is the warning light "A!", letting me know its not working, I can live with that. And after almost 3 years of driving like this it hasn't affected any other components.
At some point pull the small battery, tape up the ends, pull your negative cable, clear the code and you should be good. Had the same issue with my 19, but it didn't strand me.
I'm up here in Canada...Just a couple of days ago, a purchased a brand new JLU Rubicon, in Montreal, and was in the process of driving it home to New Brunswick, (through the state of Maine)...Half way there, on a minor, 2 lane highway, in the middle of Maine, I had to stop due to a railroad crossing signal... In order to save gas, I put the vehicle in park and shut off the engine...It wouldn't re-start, and road-side service wasn't able to help me...I was stuck, blocking my lane, for about 2.5 hours...Luckily, I found the Key FOB solution, on the internet, in which you physically use the Key FOB to push the starter switch/button, and it actually started... Now, my wife wants me to return the vehicle, to get our money back, but I don't think that's possible up here...

Carry a jump pack should get you home!

Awesome infor thank you. IF you have to go to the dealer restore everything back to OEM specs.

Wow, I just hope you have filled your coolant reservoir because it looks like it’s empty and that’s more important than your batteries at this point😮

Sounds like Your remote / key fob battery is dead.
Computer trying to control too many things.
Too much talk
