My 06 trailblazer will randomly shut off while driving and then won't start back up again for an hour or two. It seems to do this once it gets hot and when it cools down we'll start back up I had the ignition switch changed and when you read the codes there's about 12 different codes that come up

My truck still does this but without any codes. Does your RPM needle jump at all or does the ABS light come on before stalling? Just seeing if our issues are similar.

Why did you replace the throttle body? Did you buy a new one or used? Since your profile doesn't list a proper Trailblazer build, What engine do you have? What else have you tried?

The engine is the 5.3 v8 it was a new throttle body . i found out that power wasnt getting to a part on the fuse box. Took it apart and it looks like the copper wire in there has some burned spots and has been shorting out. Im guessing that this is most likely the source of my problems. So im searching the web for a new one. Hoping this work.

Photos of the damage may help. You may not need a new fuse box, much like you didn't need a new throttle body.
