Curious, are you the original owner of the jeep and this just started randomly, or is this newer-to-you and this is could be result of something previous owner wired in?

Only items added was remote start which was part of the deal when purchasing and I added a light bar (fully disconnected when checking TIPM fuses).

That sure seems like an obvious culprit that would need constant draw so that it was always ready when you triggered it. It would be wired up in that same general vicinity under the dash too. I'm coming to this thread late, and it seems almost too obvious that it's probably unrelated.

The remote start modules interface with the WCM to override the chip in the key. You should disconnect it for a week or two and see if it stops killing the battery.

I am having a very similar issue with my 2012 JKUR which is bone stock, no aftermarket lights or radio. It has a factory remote starter also. When I leave the Jeep off for 12 or more hours the battery doesn't have enough juice to start. Jumping always gets it back. I took my battery to autozone and they said the cells and battery were good. I got a reading of 12.6 volts. If I start the Jeep a few hours after turning it off the battery is fine but leaving it off for a day and the battery is dead.
I followed these steps and this is what I came up with.
1. All doors closed, no lights on and seemingly nothing drawing power. Multimeter shows 12.48 amps.
2. Unplugged negative terminal from battery.
3. Hooked up multimeter to negative post and to negative terminal got a reading of 2.35 amps
4. Pulled every fuse and found no change in the amps being drawn until I got to J13.
5. When I pulled J13 the reading dropped one amp and stayed at 1.28-1.4 amps.
It sounds like we have the same problem here. Did you find a solution? If so please let me know. Thank you.
