Dash Lights flash, car stalls
Here we go guys, Backing car out of driveway I noticed my LCD on my AC readout was blank, no temp. displayed (strange). My green light on the auto AC was not luminated. I pushed all buttons and not one light would display. I restarted and still no lights. I disconnected the battery hoping for a reset and still nothing. I noticed a slight clicking sound coming from somewhere under the dash under the panel below the steering wheel. I do have an aftermarket prestige alarm installed, and when I reconnect the battery it does'nt freakout and chirp like it used to. Also the power antenae does not go up, and I 've checked every fuse in the fuse box. After a couple of restarts the start would delay, then start, acted dead, then started. Then at one point after a start the dash flashed on and off and the car stalled. Autozone said the battery showed low charge, but good. Also said the alternator was good, its was replaced in early 2005. After I charged the battery it did the same thing. It showed 13 volts on the meter when running and 12 not started. It now sets blocking my driveway with the alt. off. I'm now at standstill, any ideas out there?

Problem fixed
The battery wouldn't take a full charge. Replaced battery, starts everytime, also the courtesy light fuse blew in the mix with the old battery to add the problem of no interrior lights and no a/c display. Replaced the fuse, back in business.
