08 tl poss electrical issue

I have an 08 tl, recently i saw my frot low beams and tail lights would flash while the car is off. This would happen for a minute or 2 then stop. I dont know if its related but in addition to that my brake/horne fuse blows every few days
Ive tried 2 different brands of fuses with the same issue. Ive tried changing the brake fluid no luck. Any help or insight anyone can provide would be great. The car has about 150k on it with no other issues other than the hands free unit draning the battery which i had fixed. In addtion the car did have auto start with alarm but i that removed.

Have you gotten a new battery ? Bad batteries can manifest themselves in odd issues. Or it could be a bad MICU/fuse box causing these issues as well.

Battery was changed less than 6 months ago. Is there any way i can test the fuse box on my own without going to a mechanic?

A short to ground will cause fuse to blow.

You're going to have to find what is causing that fuse to blow. Do you have a wiring diagram and the fuse number that keeps blowing?
