Initial problem car hesitated, lights, A/C, radio and other electrical components began to blink and go on and off. Car began to hesitate, shut off all electrical items and tried to make it home. Car stalled as I entered my driveway. Had car towed to dealer. They said battery was bad.installed new battery. Drove car approx. 1/4 mile from service dept., battery light came on. Returned to dealer. Checked car again and said fuse box was bad. Installed new fuse box, car was fine for about three months. Newly installed fuse box shorts out and catches fire and also burns wiring harness. This time third fuse box installed, wiring harness and many relays replaced.
