Finally took it into the dealer. They spent several hours and then finally, accidentally found that the battery ground to chassis right at the base of the battery tray was bad. It's the only place on my car which has corroded, and it corroded so bad that the connection was only visual. Keep it in mind.
a good tip. my last car had the battery in the trunk, so when electrical gremlins popped up, i'd check grounds first, fuses second.
