Stop/Start issues continue

Haven't posted about it but my daughters JL (Badger) has been in the shop for 2-1/2 months with an unsolvable electrical issue. Donated to the dealership retirement fund twice - $1400 once & $800 and was assured it as fixed. Went to pick it up the second time and it had the exact same issue. I picked it up with my trailer out of their lot and took it t the shop that built Gruff. He's stumped & consulting electrical gurus to no avail.

Was getting the start/stop message - I thought it was the batteries and changed both - didn't do anything. Next issue was the Christmas light effect. Last time I attempted to drive it the fucking power steering went totally out & I almost drove off the road going around a sharp corner. Anyone else had that happen? It's 100% worse than a manual steering vehicle - it's like trying to turn the steering wheel with the engine off. And then we finished the act by not even allowing me even shift it out of park. So it's sitting. I'd consider telling her to dump it but it's stuck.

Well thanks for that nightmare LOL I hope it's not that bad but this being the second auxiliary battery and soon to be the third in less than a year I wish there was a way to completely take out the start stop starter and just eliminate that whole fucking system

Followup for my issue: Took to a new dealer and they scanned it, found 5 outstanding TSB's that evidently the dealer by me was too retarded to check for, or just ignored. One of the TSB's was for the bus bars behind the glove box. Ordered in and installed the next day and we're back in business.
What should have been fixed in June took the entire Summer of it bouncing around. Fuckers.

I forget about that bus bar, my issue happens every time I take bumps too hard or in the last case, hit a chuckhole in NM at 70mph. Once it's had time to reset, everything is back to normal, that last time it took over a month.

I'm thinking the aux battery has enough space to bounce and now has loose internals, I remove it and haven't been able to duplicate the issue; still some other things I want to check, the bus bar will be added to the list.
