Default 2003 c5 with a problem


got an on-going problem that has gotten worse. either electrical or computer based, i think. symptoms are the gas, battery, oil pressure gauges go to zero; temp gauge max's out; security, abs, airbag, seatbelt lights come on; computer says "low fuel" "service traction control system" "service active handling system" "check gauges" "reduced engine power" -- sometimes all these things at once; sometimes one, two, or three at a time...

when they all go at once, "reduced engine power" is for real...

dealer has had the car twice -- first time for a week; second time since thursday.

any ideas?

I'm just taking a guess here - have you put a new battery in there?

(also curious to what the dealer said...)
