Default What is causing thhs??? (See video)

After I lock the car a minute or so later this happens: https://youtu.be/_a1G1HkJMCQ

I think it's related to a blown fuse #15. It will flash for several minutes, then stop for a short period, then start again.

I was involved in a car accident last fall where I was hit in the rear end. I think this is related to the repairs performed.

Any thoughts?

As per your other post about electrical issues following the collision: Somewhere in the vicinity of the collision damage you have probably suffered major damage to the wiring harness. Like I posted on your other thread, you need to take this back to the body shop that did the repairs. Insurance should pay for this as it was almost certainly caused by the collision. It may be an uphill fight and it may require a lawyer's assistance. Your car was NOT fully repaired by the body shop. They either overcharged the insurance company or failed to consider a contingency cost for repairing everything damaged in the collision. There are so many "magic boxes" and other electrical components scattered throughout modern cars that body shops usually pad their estimates a little to cover the possibility that damage that is unseen has occurred. Don't know how much time has elapsed since your car was returned to you but you need to get after this ASAP so they don't try to say you damaged it after the fact.

In an earlier thread, you thought that it was fuse #13 that was blowing. Now, you state that fues #15 is blowing. Which is it, one or the other, both or neither???

We can't help unless you describe the problem correctly.
