Default fixed my electrical issues

changed the battery and it all went away. guy at the shop said it was low voltage messing with service acting handling and the issue when the gauges suddenly go dim as your driving. sometimes it took me pressing the push button twice for it to even attempt a crank

A weak battery causes all kind of electrical gremlins on these cars, a common problem for sure

Default Battery

I learned the long hard way to replace the battery when there are odd electrical issues, even if the battery tests good.
