I need help!!!

I have a 99 with 55000 miles. Today I was driving a message came up low fuel, I had a 1/2 tank of gas, after that the abs & active handling went off. Then the right side of my HUD is missing. Then to top off the drive my speed was going crazy telling me I was going over 90 when I think I was going 45. I removed the battery and tray to check for and battery leaking but I did not see anything. Please any help before I have to take it to the dealer.

Thanks In advance
Gary

Everyone is going to say get the battery replaced or at least get it charged and tested.

It might be that your ground points need to be cleaned.

In the door accordian tubes, there is a connector with the serial data buss wire. That wire's connection pin/socket can become lose and cause these issues. Look in the electrical sticky in the tech section and there's pictures of what to look for. Basically you need to tighten up that connection. To verify first, when things messing up, try wiggling that accordian tube.
