Hi. Start with replacing the interior fusebox, disconnect the battery first then after the swap and battery reconnection turn ignition on 2 and let it so 5 minutes, the fusebox must be from the same modell facelift or not.

Then replace the alternator first cos there are rare cases when it can cause such symptoms if the failure is on the control circuit... you should have mentioned the alternator from the beginning
