Default dic problems

the other day my car started going back and fourth from MPH and KPH and then got stuck on KPH. non of my buttons work on the right side of my instrument panel,fuel,trip,reset,temp.i push them and nothing.also driver side climate control doesn't seem to work with the AC on, passenger side cold. and some times when i turn my lights on the dash lights don't come on, i have to keep turning them on and off a few times before they wok. don't know if its all related or not any help would be appreciated before i bring it to the dealer

thanks

Dic problems can usually be cured by antibiotics

Be careful of erections lasting longer than 4 hours!

Check for a loose battery connection, most likely on the positive side. If that doesn't work, I'd recommend a Urologist to have a closer inspection of your dic.

Out of all seriousness it sounds like the GROUND problem - 1st check your battery ground and also make sure your battery is fully charged

Read the Sticky in the TECH section on "ELECTRICAL INFORMATION" there are a few grounds that you are going to need to check to make sure they are working properly.
