Default Need help very badly

My 2006 c6 vette is completely randomly turning accessory mode on no matter if i’m idling, going 80mph or the car is just turned off. I have absolutely zero idea how or why but if someone could please suggest what to do or how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.

Just to add the car is throwing no codes besides one for cats, because it doesn’t have them, but other than that the car is mint.

Do you mean that the engine randomly quits at 80mph, and that if you sit in the switched-off car the dashboard and center console suddenly come alive without touching the ignition switch?

Hope that is it! Scary! I've had a car turn off randomly and it was the MAF on that one.
