Electrical Trouble - Rear Hardtop?

[Boxr4]

2022 Mojave Hardtop, Manual, 13000Kms, stock.

Problem: Truck is dieing after dash flashes, interior lights flash WHEN I PUSH REAR DEFROST BUTTON! I can be parked or driving any speed. Without vehicle running in aux when I push this button it flashes at me, won't stay on.

Before I restart after it dies dash says either 'service stop start' with battery warning light on... or 'service TPMS' without battery light on. Once i restart it no warnings or dash lights...it is back to normal until I push that button again. Since this issue started though starting motor requires me to hold start button for like 5-6 seconds, way longer then before.

Going Into Dealer today. I have checked hardtop connection visually/ took it apart and clicked it back together. Looks normal. When I disconnect it my interior lights/ screens cut out, not sure if that is normal (lights are not connected to hardtop, they are on roll bar of course). I have not checked fuse yet.

Any suggestions? Poking around in here sounds like aux battery might be going, or a bad ground. See what dealer says.

Any insight?

Not at all normal.
Was the Jeep on when you unplugged the connector?

Truck was not on when I disconnected roof. Not even aux.



Looking at fuses it looks like spot where my rear defrost fuse is is empty. Even so why would motor die!?

'Loose connection to the frequency hub' the technician has corrected and says fixed. I'll report back if this does indeed fix issue or not.
