Description of the problem	While driving on the highway at night, multiple indicator lights began flashing in the following order: check front right low beam, check front right fog light, check rear left side light, check left front side light, number plate check license plate lighting, check third brake light, check rear left brake light, check front right turn signal, and check rear right side light. I pulled over to the side of the highway to examine the car. Only one head-light and one tail-light was working. All other lights were out. I turned the car off and back on twice without any change in the lights. I drove the car to the dealership service department right away; however they were closing. The technician said the problem was known to be the result of a defective fuse box and requested that i return in the morning. I've reported similar problems with the electrical/lighting since purchasing the vehicle new; however this was the first time i've experienced a complete failure of the lighting system and the first time i've been told there is a defective fuse box. updated 09-18-13 bf updated 9/27/2013 *js
