@frostbiteoffroad first thank you for the awesome video. Can you clarify for the fuse is it F42? On mine it show is a 5A fuse. It does say the same description and yours. Mine is a 20 wrangler. Thank you sir.

I just now finished installing the same carrier. I put one on my JK last year and it's a little different than my JL. This was easier, I just wish I had adjusted from the most to least space between the tire and carrier. I tried it 3 times finally using the widest. LOL Was a lot of work manually tightening nylon lock nuts. SMH Freaking great video man! Yours is The best and clearest. I watched your video several timrs before I got into it.

If I don’t currently have any aftermarket items going to the battery do I need to upgrade to the larger battery still? Or can I just bypass the Aux now? I’m getting the warning message now that says Aux buttons are not available whenever I forget to turn off the auto start.
@FROSTBITEOFFROAD7 күн бұрын
I’d upgrade it while you’re at it but it’s totally up to you. I’d image your main battery is on its last leg if you’re getting warnings already. You could take the main battery to Napa and have it tested for peace of mind. Thanks for watching the video!

Hi Bryan, Thank you very much for your video. I’m having trouble with starting my Wrangler JL (my guess is the small battery killing everything) Do you confirm that removing the fuse and taping the cable will sort the thing out? I will be able to still start the vehicle? Thank you. Best, G

Yeah, if the small battery is the culprit then you should be able to do this mod and jump your main battery and be good to go. If the main battery got too low on voltage you might want to replace it, hope this helps thanks for watching!

I’m sure when they put it through the brake press that crease is something that’s necessary, so it will need welded when you put it on the axle. Yeah I got quoted over $1000 just to do the rear. Thanks for watching the video!

I have a 2021 Wrangler EcoDiesel. Lucky for me that my Aux battery is directly under my main battery. Unlucky for all of us is that we have an Aux battery. I replaced both batteries on the 3 year anniversary of my Jeep being made before I had any issues. I live in the desert of Arizona and batteries die in about 3 years. I didn't want it to die on a ride in the desert. I push the button after starting my Jeep. I don't want the engine turning off when I am at a traffic light or when I apply the brake while off roading. I carry a Type S Jump Starter Power Bank with me all the time. I figure I can disconnect the Aux battery when I have a problem and jump the main battery to get going if I have to. I will replace my main battery and delete my Aux battery on the 2nd 3rd anniversary. Thanks for the tip on the F42 fuse.

@matthewwallace6028Ай бұрын
Hey there, so simply switching the fuse and removing the negative terminal is enough to disable the aux battery? Does this reroute the start stop to the main battery or disable it permanently? Also, can the aux battery and the positive and negative lines attached to it be left in the jeep?
@FROSTBITEOFFROADАй бұрын
Yes, this mod will remove the aux battery from the loop. It will still run the stop start system on the main battery unless you get a programer to disable it. I simply just pushed the button to disable it on start ups. You can leave the lower cables and aux battery in the vehicle, making it easier if you want to switch back to stock. Thanks for watching the video!
@redstang006Ай бұрын
Where do you put the positive from the aux battery?Do you just add it to the main positive?

The positive aux battery lead is already attached to the main battery so no need to do anything with it. You just need to remove the negative aux lead from the main battery and pull the fuse. I hope this helps, thanks for watching.
