    Thank you for sharing this video. Yesterday, 8/21, I changed my wife's 2018 GC Aux battery. What I did was remove the battery first and drive to Batteries Plus and purchase the Power P Sonic PS-AUX14 battery 12 Volt 12.0 Ah for $99.99. They told me it was AGM; however, the battery does not show AGM anywhere.
    I installed the battery, and the yellow A was still showing. I drove the Jeep for about 30 minutes and had no luck. I removed the negative terminal from the main battery and disconnected both aux terminals for about 15 minutes. connected the positive aux terminal wire, then I installed the negative main battery terminal wire and lastly the negative terminal wire for the aux battery. I turned the car on, and the alert was gone. Today, my wife turned on the Jeep, and the lights were back on. The only thing I did not do was remove the old screws from the battery. I used the ones provided in the box. I called Batteries Plus to make sure they hold on to my battery today 8/21 until my wife gets home. What can I do to get rid of a yellow light?

      Lifespann of normal medium battery can be around 3 to 5 years.
      Small battery life its even shorter

    Followed every step; for some reason when I go to start the car
    My dash goes nuts and the car will not start, my LoJack gives me a low battery notification…..
    Could it be defective battery?

      Check the main fusable link. I’m going to post a link for some info for you. Usually when you post links in comments they go straight to possible spam folder. So get on the desk top and check the folder if it’s not posted. Here. Let me know.

    Hi.
    Thank you for the excellent video. Did you use a power supply when you replaced the batteries? I used an external battery (connected under the hood) when I replaced the batteries in my car under the seat. Is it necessary? The battery replacement did not take away the start stop system warning sign. Does the system understand that the batteries has been replaced? The car starts good.

    • @OilLightReset

      No external power used. Probably why you still have the error. Removing all the power will probably clear the code.

      Thanks for the advice. I unconnected both batteries at the same time but it did not clear the code. I will go to the Jeep dealer/service at Friday. Maybe the battery sensor is broken.

      @@swimers100 Hi. I went to the authorised Jeep service and they did a reset to the error codes. The error code was gone and it has not come back. The error code reset operation costed about 80 dollars at the local Jeep service. I tried first an unauthorised car service but they could not delete the error code with their equipment.
