Default car died while driving

i recently had a new trans put in my car from the dealer. i was heading to work when all of the sudden the car just died on me. i could not get the car to start or even have power to raise the windows. i checked all fuses and none of them were blown. had the car towed to dealer and they spent 4 days on it trying to diagnose it. they came back to me saying that my remote start and my grill lights for my local fire department cause an extra flow of power to go through the ignition fuse causing it to blow and buzz a 40 amp breaker and melt test leads. this was the second case of new start no power. the first case was wen i went to pick it up after the trans was put in. the mechanic said that he had to reprogram the trans code. i am wondering if it is at all possible for a remote start and grill lights that are rated and like 3 amps could cause the car to shut off while driving and not allow me to put the car in neutral to put it on a flat bed with out releasing the emergancy shift lock.
