started vehicle & multimeter shows 13.96, so alternator working fine. anything to do with the fuse & relay box? maybe fuse blow? for V2 when you open the door or booth the hazard light comes for about 8 counts. Now i open door wait till hazard light finish flashing then i start the car the hazard lights start flashing again then stop after number of counts.

Likely your battery is not holding charge, typical of a 'dying' battery...how old is it? Volt meter can't measure the battery health properly ... i think the correct method is measuring the fluid for some property ...can't remember ..

By just checking and ready you battery voltage is only the basic checking, if you encounter un - normal behavior light this is best that you get is check in workshop for battery full load test and electrical wiring for any loose or badly worn.
Don't wait till get stuck somewhere then cry for help.
