I just now had to do the replacement for my 2020 JLU sport with 70k miles. Been reading on the forums everyone is saying not to go through the top through the fuse box but from below through the fender skirt and to order extra Mopar fasteners because they will snap.

First great video Eddie. This is for all other's be careful when removing the 2 main battery posts. The auxiliary battery is still connected in line with system for JL's and JT's. You can get a multi-meter and read the positive and negative posts after disconnected and still get 12VDC. The aux battery runs the Electronic Start/Stop system. You can even get in with main battery posts disconnected and start your engine with key FOB nearby. I remove the aux battery posts off the firewall. Replacing the stock AGM batteries with better after market ones like Eddie did should get you 2 to 3 times the life then stock. Great job. Love seeing vids of the puppy growing up.

Dude, doing this today for the 3rd damn time since I got this thing 3 years ago (AZ/CO is tough on batteries). Love almost everything else about the JLUR, but this 2-battery system is one of the worst designs I've ever encountered. The fact that you can't even jump the main to get started if the AUX is dead (because it won't crank if the AUX doesn't pass its test on startup) is literally dangerous. I think they fixed this in later models, but the 2018.5 is a PITA when it comes to batteries; and potentially getting stranded in the wild, or hung out in an intersection. I sure wish your video was out the first time I encountered this situation. You are a GREAT instructor!

Thanks for another fantastic, clear and engaging video Eddie. You and your team really are good at what you do and weekend DIYers like me really appreciate your willingness to share the process. Quick question: Does the AUX battery have a specific size/group number or are they universal?

Awesome video. Clear instructions, socket sizes, tips, etc. I didn’t think getting at Aux battery thru fuse box was that tough, and almost seemed easier than the fender well approach some people do. That bungie cord tip was great! I did the same trick for holding back the three wire harness on the firewall side. My findings… 1) the four wire harnesses that so nicely stayed in your tray or were easily pulled off for you, did not stay in my tray and instead were tightly attached to underside of my fuse panel. Yes, I had the four long screws fully detached from the harnesses. Pulling on the back of them just pulled off the colored back cover pieces, and I didn’t want to then pull by the wires. SOLVED: I found that tapping with a hammer or wrench handle on the top of those unscrewed long screws would push the harness off the bottom of fuse panel. 2) you mentioned the Odyssey Aux14 battery was what you would have preferred but couldn’t find. I did find that and bought it at first. The terminals on the Odyssey were not square/straight on 3 sides like the bent down sides of the Jeeps +/- terminal connectors need to attach flat and centered. I returned it and got Diehard Platinum and it looked completely identical in shape all over, to the Jeep original. 3) when re-assembling the fuse box, there is a satisfying snap as the lock tabs engage when pushing the top fuse panel onto the bottom tray and harnesses. So satisfying you might think you’re done and forget to actually screw back in those four long silver screws that snug up each harness. Well fyi… if that’s the case, then when you are all done, it won’t start…or didn’t for me…and a sinking feeling will set in. Luckily I walked back thru the video versus what I remembered doing and figured it out. Those screws must either seat the harnesses all the way, or not ground something, until screwed in. Again, really appreciate the video. Subscribed and will be checking out your other content!

Glad to hear our video was able to help you out.

Eddie, HUGE help with this video!!! Thank You!!! All the other videos I've seen have you go through the fender well and the fender inner skirting....Holy Hell!!! My battery(ies) have been acting up lately....took my jeep in for an oil change and got to talking with the tech.....told him about changing out my batteries and he said that the easiest way was through the door under the battery.....he failed to tell me it is actually under the fuse/relay/power center.....I got the main battery out and was looking for a door.....but its really not a door but an access panel and while 2 of the bolts for the panel are under the main battery, the rest is under the fuse block as you show in the video. Thankfully I didn't throw in the towel before I found your video! Following your video was pretty straight forward......got the old Aux battery out and replaced.......re-installed the access panel and then the Lower Power/fuse block unit. Found a cool feature that I didn't see in your video: - The lower "tray" has pockets in it that correspond to the 4 large wire connectors. You can "snap" the wire connectors into these pockets (they will actually snap into the pockets....This allows you to (Carefully) position the Power center/fuse/relay panel over the lower block and connectors. Once properly positioned you simply snap the power center/fuse/relay into place (remember the 4 plastic "snaps" that were undone to remove the Power center/fuse/relay panel in the first place) and push it down until it "Snaps" the 4 Plastic keepers. At this point the 4 wiring connectors are in the right positions and you simply screw in the 4 Bolts that you had undone to get the Power center/fuse/relay block out in the first place. When you screw these 4 bolts in, the bolts actually lift the connectors out of the lower tray pockets and into their proper positions on the bottom the power center/fuse/relay block (you will hear the connectors "unsnap" from the lower tray pockets......Way to go Jeep engineers!!... With all my start/stop messing around it took me about an hour and 15 minutes to do this job. I replaced both batteries (AUX 14 AGM battery and an Upgraded H7 96r AGM for the main) I didn't hook up a power source to the battery leads when I disconnected them (just like in you video) and once all done, fired up and had not lost any settings. Again, Thank You so much for posting this video!!!

This video is so timely! I just installed a front camera with the Tazer Mini for my 2018 JLR. Go to start and nothing. Put the charger on the main battery and it reads 60%. If the main is at 60% the dreaded auxiliary battery must be dead 💀. Off to the parts store! Thanks for the jumper kit hat tip too. Great video!

Great information! I read about a second battery in my manual (eco- diesel) while browsing, didn’t read entire paragraph. Looked for it under the hood and thought it strange there wasn’t 2 batteries. Now I know, thank you for the great video!
