If so, I need some advice. I own a 2004 Volvo S80. For the last several months I have had to replace several fuses...actually all of them. I will be driving along in my car at low RPM or high and my dashboard will begin to flicker off and on and my transmission feels like it's confused and tries to down shift and usually gets stuck in third or fourth gear. The dash will eventually go completely out and will lose power to the windows and brake lights will go out. I have down some internet research and searched forums and it seems it has happened to other people but no one has given a real solid answer on this issue...to include Volvo. My gut tells me it has something to do with my alternator might not be producing the correct voltage. Also, my ECM could be going bad...cluster?? So many options. I have reached out to the dealership in Montgomery but they won't even call me back for some reason.

Any thoughts?
