- We had our main battery die and wouldn't charge with the aux battery hooked up. Aux battery went bad and we deleted it rather than replace it.

Thank you for these DIY videos. Very valuable.
Hope they help.
thank you for helping me with this tutorial.
Glad we could help.
All you have to do is remove the ground cable for the AUX battery from the ground group at the main battery and IBS.
Then remove fuse F42, which takes the ESS offline.
Wrap the removed ground cable with electrical tape and tie it out of the way with zip ties.
I will say that I like diesel AUX battery location way better than the gas engine one.
IBS?

unless you have AUX switches....the factory AUX switches will not work if you do this...
@@jeremythacker2313 I'm doubting the accuracy of that.
@@Lunentucker I unhooked myF42 and the AUX switches will not work until the Aux battery is charged.....My AUX switches would only work when I put the fuse back in and re-hooked up the Aux battery..... I have not tried completely removing the Aux battery and doing what was done in the video...
Unfortunately, I could not see what you were doing because the camera angle was too high. Did you connect the Aux positive cable to the Main positive cable? If so, is that why you had to drill out the hole and turn it approximately 90 degrees? Did you connect the Aux negative cable to the Main battery negative?
Yes the aux cables were connected to the main battery cables, sorry for the angle. I will be re shooting this video, just laid up in bed sick.
@@overlanding21 After connecting all the cables together operating/driving your Gladiator diesel without the auxiliary battery. what's was the result?
@@dupton8000 we haven't had any issues since we did this to our Wrangler, but it would be the same for a Gladiator.
Did you connect the ground cable of the secondary battery to the negative pole of the main battery through the battery temperature sensor, or did you connect it directly to the negative pole? Please clarify, thank you. A follower from Iraq
Yes the negative from the second battery goes to the negative of the main battery.
نعم ، يذهب السالب من البطارية الثانية إلى سالب البطارية الرئيسية.
Thanks for the video! Any issues now that it's a year later? I've had my batteries die for a second time now and dealership says they won't replace it again because all of my mods. I need to resolve this dead battery issue.
I still haven't had any issues with my battery. I still would recommend it to everyone that won't have the stealership warranty their batteries. I have the link added for Amazon or you can go to advanced auto to get it
@@overlanding21 I appreciate the video and the response!
Just curious where you are from? Just confirming you experience cold weather
@toms4363 we live in NC, but go up to PA in the winter as well as the mountains of NC to camp in winter. I have a video in my shorts where we camped during a ice storm. So the Wrangler seen sub zero Temps as well as above 100° temps
@@overlanding21 Once again, thanks so much. This is very helpful!
@toms4363 if you have any more questions or ideas for a video let me know.
Can you give us the part number for the Odyssey battery you used? I’m going to be doing the 2nd delete on mine soon. Thank you.

There is a amazon link to the battery that I used
Why wouldn’t you just remove the cables to the aux battery now that they aren’t connected to anything?
Were the auxiliary cables long enough to reach the main cables?
Yes they were
How’s it been working? Any issues?
It's been working great, haven't had a dead battery since I did the delete.
When you modified the hood vents on your diesel, what kind of if any issues are you having with water, rain, mud, etc, coming into the engine bay and down on top of the engine ???? The 392 has the hydro..
We haven't had any issues with over 30k miles since doing the mod. Drove through a lot of mud, water crossings, couple of hurricanes and snow/ice storms and she runs just like it was when we purchased it.
Yes water gets into the engine bay when it rains and the vehicle is standing still, but if you drive during a rain storm it gets more water into the engine compartment with no damage. Now I personally haven't seen a 392 in person and what is located under the plastic covers, but if it's not a open engine block vent, air intake or oil fill point you won't have any issues as the engine bay is designed to be wet.
@@overlanding21 thanks...
Seems like a few people have had an issue with overheating , codes going off on steep long climbs after they lift and modify wheel and tires..
Wondering if this helps....
I hope one day someone breaks the scandal on the DEF and how that came about... they just don't want Mericans to get good gas mileage do they????
@cwwcww7465 so I made another video doing a tuff test, it shows air flow on the hood and around the vents when it was opened, at highway speeds the air gets sucked into the engine bay through the vents. But when I offroad I do see heat escaping from the now open vents. But even with 37 and a loaded wrangler I never went above 226. Hope I stay that lucky.
@@overlanding21 appreciate it... thanks for the info..
Thanks for the video, but unfortunately I did not get it. It was not clear to me ☹️
What can I explain?
Does your remote start still work? Mine doesn't after doing this.
Yes haven't had any issues with the remote start.
@@overlanding21 Maybe I had hit the remote start to much that day because this morning it worked
@RkunsawGarage glad to hear that it's working, just FYI if the hood is not closed or a door is open remote start won't work. As well as if the computer didn't full reboot it won't remote start. But glad it works now.
You should add something to the description to say that you need a TAZR to do this mod.
You don't need a tazer to do this. After I completed this video a friend ran his 18 3.6 with auto start stop on and it started and stopped completely fine. It's been a month since he did it with no issues yet. Or you can just press the button yourself and turn it off as well.
@@overlanding21 : thanks so much for replying.
I have a brand new 2023 JLURD with less than 200 miles so far.
So much to learn about it.
@LazyToad yes, im still learning about mine 2 years and 48k miles later. The tazer mini is a must have in my opinion. Change tire size, led lights, back up sensors, read and clear codes, best one is when I put my turn signal on it activates my back up camera so I can see around the Jeep better, should be standard but it's not.
Any plans to modify your rig?
