No need to disconnect battery on Jeep Wrangler
I learned something a few weeks ago on a recent trip, so I thought I'd pass it along to any owners of a 2014 (or newer) Jeep Wrangler. If you turn the ignition key all the way off and remove the key, the steering wheel never locks. Therefore, there's no need to leave the key in the ignition and disconnect the battery. You just do all the other steps from the manual, but skip that one.
At an RV park, a guy with the same model Jeep as me came over and told me that. The owners manual doesn't mention it at all, so I was a little skeptical, but I've tried it now for over 2,000 miles of driving with no problems at all.
It's nice to be able to use the power locks, etc. and save time when hooking up so I thought I'd pass this along. Hope it helps!
