I also saw that the jaguars resetting might be due to the CIM motor taking on too much or the jaguars drawing too much current. Any advice would help.

It's definitely electrical from the sounds of it.

Tug on all the connections leading to the Jaguar, and also do a load test on your battery, or try a different battery. There is excessive resistance somewhere in the electrical path.
