did you have someone work on your car after the accident? if it's a bad ground they should fix it.

If that were the case then it wouldnt work at all, once a fuse blows whatever the fuse was attached to wont work til you replace it, since this is intermitten i would guess a bad ground.

YES!! Thats is VERY bad. If you use a to big of fuse you could fry any electrical componet that the fuse is linked too, such as your power window motors, or blow your headlights out. Its also possible to melt those wires as well...which means you have to have your car rewired.
