Put a voltmeter on the battery and watch it when you are cranking the engine; if it drops below 10.5 volts you may need a new battery. Did you charge the battery until it was full before or just after you installed it? Did you use a battery charger not a battery tender? Check the date on your...
My SWAG is that your S3 springs have raised the ride height to where the angle on your CV joints is excessive (more than the CV were designed for) and the excessive angle is causing the inner CV joints to bind slightly when running generating the excess heat.🤔
I believe the bus bar under the dash supplies voltage/current to your dash and overhead switches. The fuse box under the hood is referred to as Fuse box 1 and the one under the rear seat is called Fuse box 2. Your engine is supplied from Fuse box 2 so start there and start checking for voltage...
The blanket is installed from the inside behind the seats, some disassembly may be required. I installed mine before the kit became available and just used 2019 Defender Xt Cab HD10 sound & heat insulation
Check your paperwork to see what it says about the warranty you got with the machine. It should still have the base warranty unless the dealer didn't register it correctly. Contact BRP care and start a claim with them.

That's a tough one; I think you need to start with a voltmeter and check the battery voltage after sitting overnight. The voltage should be at 12.6 to 12.8 volts. If the voltage is in the range check the cranking voltage of the battery while the starter is turning the engine over it shouldn't...
I updated my build thread after I went grouse hunting 2 weeks ago and found myself stuck in the muskeg. It took 4 1/2 hrs. to pull the machine back and out of this muskeg hole.
The box on my defender is 39" off the ground and in the picture it is about an inch below the water and mud so it took...
