2017 Ford Feista Se

I have a 2017 Fiesta se and the last few days while it was running while stopped the car dash lights flickered off and immediately on and the car chimed/bell ding 3 times like when you first crank the car. Also yesterday morning I drove to store and when I got in the car to crank it there was no power/lights on the dash and acted like the battery was dead and wouldn't crank but when I closed the door the lights came on and the car cranked immediately and things were completely normal the rest of the day except my milage trip and mile per gallon avg reset. It did the power flicker thing again late last night while idling at a red light before I went home. Any ideas what it could be?

Just to mention this car was sitting for over 3 years and decided to spend the money and take it to the shop and see if it could be fixed and it has been going for 6 weeks really well until this issue started a few days ago....... (Previous issue was timing belt issue. I figured engine was toast but i got lucky. I just didnt worry about trying to fix it earlier due to having my other cars)

This may mean some fuses and relays, while driving - got bounced and all you really need to do is press them back in - if the problem persists, then corrosion on one or several fuses or relays has set in, causing this intermittent condition so you'll have to start pulling, inspecting and re-seating fuses and relays to see if you can locate the loose or starting to fail one.
