I'm having the same issue but with my Baja Designs Squadron Pros either when I stop at a light or when I turn sharply like pulling into a parking spot or backing into one. Did anyone find out a fix to this issue?

Same issue with my '23 JTM with the fog lights cutting out with the auto start/stop shit.

Easy fix, turn off the auto start/stop; I have a TAZR........but I'd like a better solution or explanation.

Did you change your light settings to LED using a programmer?

There's no reason at all for ESS to have any impact on any lighting. If it was connected, it would be an anomaly, not normal.

That makes me wonder about a connection or electrical load. Turning sharply not only flexes things, but it puts a load on the system when it's idling.
I'd be curious about the battery voltage - both when running and when it's shut off and has been sitting a few hours.

Here's what I see - multiple causes, similar symptoms but some are saying ESS, some are saying turning, etc. so- it's not ESS itself, it's something else going on.

Before going into work I went to the off-road pages and when turning at idle the battery drops from 14.1-3 to low 12s and even to the 11s when I have my roof and ditch lights on as well.
