Default Car turns off and on, on its own.

So I work at a subaru dealership and had them change my oil. After my cars electrical (radio, interior lights) turn off and on, on its own. So they had me take it to nissan sense its under warrenty. They factory flashed it, which fixed it for a week. Now its doing the same thing again. Any ideas? I did the drl mod where they come on with the headlights about 2 months ago if that matters. Had no issues until the oil change. http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58e13bcd...7413621734.mp4

back in da dayz G35 folks were wiring up the side markers to da turn signals which faked up da ECU.

i dont know how u wired the DRL's (hopefully u used a relay triggered by an interior switched fuse like the cigarette socket completely unrelated to control modules) but im thinking dat could be the culprit.

I did just as the write up here on this forum. I guess if thats the culprit why would it be fine for 2 months then the dealership touches it and it just randomly starts doing that.

I'm a little confused by your post. Is your engine turning on and shutting off or just the electronics?

If you increase the load sufficiently, it will take a toll on the solid state switches. A little damage every time you turn the lights on/off until it finally fails.

Not necessarily what has happened to you, but it could be.
