Have 4xe questions?? Feel free to text me personally at 704-459-3087 . Here I can go more in-depth about any of your questions!
Thanks so much! I wanted mine off when the ignition was off, so I just reversed your process!
You ROCK Brandon. I am heading out in the morning to switch this for my cooler/fridge. I wondered why it was ignition powered but figured Jeep was just trying to protect us from ourselves.
Great tip! Thanks! As a new Wrangler owner, I love your vids!
Thanks for the heads up on this Bro! I changed the location to the top of the panel. Allows ability to put gear further back and against panel. Simple DIY with no parts needed.
Nice! I had a ‘99 Dodge Intrepid that had the same feature. Great to know they’re still doing it.
brilliant!! thank you. trying to hook up power to our patriot 3 braking system and needed constant power... didn't understand why this one in the back wouldn't light up without being on. THANK YOU
Thank you very much. I was looking for a PowerPoint place, I had just placed an order to rewire everything and put another PowerPoint in the Jeep. But with your help I canceled that order and I'm a happy camper now
I learn something new Everytime I watch your videos
Thank you, that was BRILLIANT, I’m definitely subscribing !
Wow, just wow! The only "hint" of this in any of the manuals I have is in the "2021 4Xe Owners Manual Supplement" where it lists the fuses and shows F43 as PWR OUTLET (CARGO) BATT and F45 as PWR OUTLET (CARGO) IGN. Kudos!
I don’t have a 4xe just yet, but I’m definitely looking in my other fuse boxes tomorrow to see if other DJCF models have this option!!!
Wow amazing Brandon thanks 🙏
I bought this Jeep for my wife. About to make my finale payment shortly. Love this ride. She got nice leather with retractable roof. 20’s make a difference cause man she stands high. My wife just put front and back beautiful wheel covers and front crazy bright lights that look stupid sick. She’s living her best Jeep life. Been Jeep’s since 2015
Another masterful job!!
Thanks Brother.
Thanks for the tip for drain my battery
Nice I wondered how the JL version worked.Had a JK and that mod.
Was not aware of this one. Thanks!
That’s what I’m here for!
That's awesome thank you for sharing!!!!!
Great info 👍
Great tip!
Great tip thanks.
Thank You Sir!
Wow that is so cool !
that socket shows a picture showing the battery, and as with mh 2019 JLUR its set by default to always live. I'd need to move that fuse to make if off the ignition. By the way, I also have the aux switches....and these can be set through the radio settings... you can toggle how they're set, between ignition and battery. Very useful.
Yes your are correct Patrick.
Please do a video on the Uconnect app with the horn and lights function. I didn’t know how to turn off the horn once pressed. Thanks.
Thats cool. I like youre channel
Top info👍😅
Omg no way! That’s awesome!
There does not appear to be a similar option for doing this to the 12V outlet in the dash, but it doesn't appear that it would be too difficult to come up with something that would allow that outlet to be powered by the battery all the time (BATT) instead of just when the ignition (IGN) is on. This is a lot lengthier to explain than it actually would take to do it, but I'll give it a try. If you have a short attention span, you probably should just stop reading at that point and live with whatever the factory gave you. :)
Ideally, the fuse panel could be easily removed and the wires switched around on the back of the panel, but considering how owner-unfriendly that other things are in the JLs, I doubt that this would be a quick and easy modification.
On the other hand, it would be possible to create a fused jumper that integrated with the existing sockets such that the 12V power outlet was receiving BATT instead of IGN. To do this, you need to remember that the fuse connector has two contacts on it. One goes to the power source circuit (i.e. BATT or IGN) and the other goes to the device that is to be powered. You will need to pull the fuses from the 12V power outlet (F52 on my JL) and use a multimeter to identify which of the two contacts is on the power side and which is on the device side. You can do this by turning the ignition on and using a multimeter (voltage mode) with one lead touching the negative pole on the battery (or the metal frame of the vehicle), touch each side of the fuse holder to see which one shows 12V. The side that shows 12V is the power source for this fuse and you do NOT want to be hooking to it. What you basically need to do is to take a BATT source from another fuse socket and route it to just the device side of the 12V power outlet. Of course, you want this to have a fuse on it and to not change the fact that the existing BATT source is also fused.
This could be accomplished via an "add-a-circuit" fuse kit. Something similar to this:
www.amazon.com/Circuit-Adapter-Profile-Dual-slot-Holders/dp/B08MZY1LZF
Just get the one that is the same physical size fuses that is in your vehicle and has sufficient amperage rating. I believe that you would need a 20A rating for the 12V power outlet. The above link is only for 5A and 10A, so you'll need to search for a properly rated one.
You will need 2 of them -- one for the dash's 12V power outlet circuit and the other for the new power source circuit.
If you look at the "add-a-circuit" unit, you will see that there are two blades at the bottom that need to plug into the existing fuse receptacle and space for 2 fuses to be inserted into the unit. One side of the unit will have a wire coming out of it for the new circuit that you are wanting to add and the other side will be plain (flat).
From looking at photos of the unit, I would suspect that the flat side is going to be hooked to the power source (BATT or IGN) side of the fuse receptacle and the side with the wire coming out of it will be on device side of the circuit. The bottom fuse receptacle is most likely for the existing circuit and the top fuse receptacle is most likely for the new circuit (i.e. the wire coming out of the unit). There should be an electrical connection that you can verify via a multimeter (checking for resistance) between the blade that goes into the fuse receptacle in the fuse box and the flat side of the add-a-circuit unit (with the fuses removed from the unit). Without fuses in the unit, checking for resistance between the wire side blade and the lower and upper fuse receptacles should show an open circuit.
To make this converter device / jumper, you will need to take two of the add-a-circuit units and connect the wires to each other -- crimp, solder, heatshrink, whatever you feel comfortable with for the connection in insulation. One of the units will plug into the fuse receptacle that has the BATT connection and the other will plug into the fuse receptacle that is for the 12V power outlet. They will not be plugged in the same direction though. Also, you do not want fuses in every receptacle on the add-a-circuit units. On the unit that plugs into the BATT connection, you will want both fuses, but on the unit that plugs into the 12V power outlet, you will only need one fuse and it will be in the top fuse slot on the add-a-circuit unit. You will need to plug the end that plugs into the 12V power outlet into the fuse receptacle so that the blade that is opposite the wire goes into the device side slot of the fuse receptacle in the fuse block. If you get this wrong, you will be cross linking the BATT and IGN power sources which could be a BAD thing. On the end that plugs into the BATT connection, you will want to plug it in so that the side with the wire is on the device side and the side without the wire is on the BATT side.
Drawings would make this a lot easier to explain... Maybe I'll do that at some point and come back and post a link to them.
One concern might be whether these add-a-circuit units will physically fit in the space available in the Jeep's fuse box. I haven't tried this yet, so I don't know. The 12V power outlet's fuse is very close to a bank of relays, so the connector might fit one, but not the other. Depending which connector in the socket goes to the power source and which one goes to the device, it might be difficult to shoehorn the connector in there. Depending upon which fuse socket you choose for the BATT source, you might run into the same problem for it, depending upon how the power and device terminals are oriented on the receptacle. If there is a spacing issue, there is another option that I've seen that looks similar to a fuse with a quick connect terminal on one side of it. It wouldn't be as clean looking, but it could be made to work with an additional inline fuse.
Adding a like and a comment for the sheer highly informative discourse you posted.
"Hello" Rock Brandon 🍻
Supper great video
I have an 2013 jeep wrangler unlimited JK sahara v6 3.6 automatic GECKO PREARL
Electricgreen,
4 doors 35x12.50r20 NITTO RIDGE GRAPPLER TIRES
3/25" lift Black rims
Now I'm glad you showed me why my cargo outlet didn't work thanks
●|||||||● here's a jeep wave for you all. ✌👋 happy JEEPY
To you!!!!!
Thanks brother
Thanks!!!!!
Any chance they would have that same sort of thing for the power outlet on the dash?
Amazing
Nice!
Thanks a lot for these videos. How do you charge the auxiliary battery under the starting battery? Can I connect a battery charger extension cable to the auxiliary battery and use a battery charger on the auxiliary battery?
Will leaving power on all the time drain the battery?
Hello GREAT VIDEO! One quick question I have a 12 V socket already in the rear. I want to attach another one. Is this still the same fuse set up? Or will this affect the one that’s currently installed?
Do you think that would work to allow a trickle charger being plugged into that socket eliminating the need to go under the hood?
This is a TOTAL LIFE SAVER 😁👍💯💯
Is there a 🔌 plug in the 2017 jeep wrangler unlimited?
You can also buy a fuse jumper and make it so your front plug stays on for $5
Does this work the same with a 2016 JK with the one on the dash?
Do you know if this is the same situation with the main 12V spot in the cab? Mine seems to be off completely, even when the Jeep is on.
How we can do the inverse? I mean. The other usb connectors at front power off when jeep is off?
How much can you run from that power outlet ? like the jeep powered house?
Mine came already changed over. Didn't even know till I just looked.
I would like to replace the cigarette lighter port with a straight USB port in the dash.
Can I use the same power wires to it and where do I get one that fits my dash ?
Thanks SteveG
Is there a way to disable the power always being on for outlet #2 in the center console? We have a wireless link for the Uconnect hidden in there, but we have to disconnect it every time when we get home or are within range of the device after exiting the vehicle. If not, it'll keep trying to connect to our phones.
Great videos! I just watched a couple of them - Using the 4xe as a generator and getting the cargo outlet to stay on.
Question regarding output of the cargo outlet - is it really 20 amps? The fuse suggests that. Reason I ask is that I am interested in running a Hcalory diesel heater and can't find a solar generator with more than 10 amp output from the cigarette outlet. There seems to be an issue where during startup, the heater glow plug draws around 150 watts, which exceeds the rated output of most solar generators' 10amp capacity or 120 watts. If the 4xe cargo output really is 20 amps (240 watts) then I would be able to use that as a power source for the diesel heater. I would be sure to unplug the driver door connector and turn the ignition switch to "run".
Side question, would the high voltage battery also charge the 12 v battery or inverter in the "acc" position?
Thanks!
Does anyone know of a way to wire a switch to these two positions? It'd be great to have a rocker switch right next to the outlet (I'd have to run some wire) that allowed me to choose between the keyed side and the constant side. Thinking about some sort of 3 prong switchable solution, maybe?
I did as you said but only the one in my middle column is working. The one in the center dash below the stereo and the one in the rear hatch doesn’t work. Any thing else i can try?
Hey Brandon, love your videos! I have a question if anyone would know, you would. Is there a way or wiring of some sorts back there to add the cargo light the 2 door JL’s have? The one on the driver side near the floor. Thank you!
Text me at 704-459-3087 we can discuss wiring up stuff there. It’s a littler easier to communicate
May I ask what the reasoning to keep it on for ? Or the use. Does the battery die?
My 2022 Wrangler High Altitude 4xe cargo 12v outlet 20a fuse was already on battery and not ignition.
Oh it's Jeep man
looking for a power source for my 4 pin trailer wiring ... anyone know if I am able to run it to this 12v outlet in the back? 2019 Sahara unlimited
Brandon, I have a Gladiator, and the only DC outlet is the one on the dash (the one in the truck bed is 110v). Does this work for the DC outlet on the dash?
On my JL, the fuse for the dash appears to only have a single place it can be plugged into. The fuse and relay diagram is in a fairly small font, so if you have old eyes (like I do), you might need a magnifying glass to be able to read it.
Perfect for running a fridge.
Can we do this for the 3-prong outlet in the back of the center console? Does this only drain the battery under the hood?
Yes that is correct. This runs off of the 12v battery. Not the HV battery.
No you can’t change the 110 outlet to all the time but check out this video I did. This might help. ruclips.net/video/HB2K8q0igNc/видео.html
What is the purpose of the plastic cap below that power outlet that has a symbol of a gas can on it?
Fuel door release
??? My 115v outlet lights yellow but when I power on a device the light goes out and the device don't run??? Why?
DOES IT DRAIN THE BATTERY?
Yes
Mine came like that from the factory.
Is there a reason this is not standard?
It’s personal preference.
@@BrandonHaneline do you think there’s a downside?
@@brandonfertig -- Other than forgetting about it and running your battery down and not being able to start your vehicle?
@@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire that’s exactly what I was wondering
@@brandonfertig keep a portable jumper box, like a 60 dollar one in case, Problem solved Boi!
It didn't work for me 😭
