It's a 2018, you're out of warranty. Go to a real mechanic instead of a dealer and they'll have it fixed in an afternoon.

Remove the grille and R/F headlamp. Loosen, clean, and tighten both ground studs you see there. Common problem, one of the grounds is for the EPS pump especially.

Seriously doubt your average mechanic could properly diagnose and repair something so unique to the JL/JT platform that's also intermittent. They'll throw a pump at it and when it comes back they'll say "take it to the dealer". Average mechanics are good for typical repairs, not odd-ball repairs.

I said real mechanic, not "average".

If you haven't changed your batteries you are overdue. Bad, old, dying batteries cause all types of weird electrical issues in the JL Wrangler. At minimum change the main battery and then consider bypassing the aux battery.

Bad canbus or bad battery(s).

I had all of these issues and more - canbus was the culprit.

When my dash went into Christmas Tree Mode it was because of a bad steering column control module.

Did you confirm that all the fuses and relays are completely pushed in?
