[QUOTE="Kaptain Karnage, post: 444167, member: 17554"] Yeah, Genesis system with both batteries installed. He even swapped out the cranking battery for a new one, as the original one was showing only 8 volts on an open circuit. Even with the new battery at 12V, I got him to check the voltage coming into the fusebox, and that was only showing 4V, which is obviously not right. The trouble is that the Jeep was parked outside, and it was -15F before windchill, which was making it impossible to do further work. We've had it towed to a local mechanic shop who have a good reputation. At least they'll be able to work on it in a warm enclosed space. I'm speculating that it's a connector somewhere between battery and fusebox that has gone brittle with the cold or something like that, but they're taking a look tomorrow, so we'll find out soon enough.
