Gauge Cluster is Constantly Resetting
A problem appeared today with my 2015 C7.Stingray, After driving around, fueling up, and dropping by a friends house for an while. When I started it up to leave: the gauges were flashing on and off, was getting a power steering alarm, and the bluetooth was constantly connecting to my Iphone. Any ideas, could this be a weak battery?

There are also two under the drivers side dash. You need to open the driver door and lift up the plastic trim. Just ahead of the manual door release. I would think it's these since they ground a lot of the interior wiring. Though the engine bay ones are quicker to verify.

I replaced the battery February 18, 2022. For the winter of 22 to 23, and 23 to 24 I used the C7 trickle charger to keep the battery up. The car starts up easely. This morning fault conditions have changed; the dash stopped resetting, and now I have a check engine light, and the radio will not power down. Got my four post lift fixed this morning and got the car in the air. Don't see any damaged wiring under the car.

I had the same issue, and a new battery fixed it.
I would also lose power steering intermittently while making turns in a parking lot, didn't always happen but seem to occur when my GS was warmed up. I dismissed the battery being the culprit since I had a three-year-old AGM battery in place. Assuming it was a major issue, I took it to the dealer where they pulled several "Low DC voltage codes" - diagnosing it was a battery issue. New DELCO battery in place and all is good now. I thought spending the money on an AGM battery would make me immune to the "3-year battery curse" like with wet batteries but not the case. We live in tropical climate where the heat is not friendly to batteries.
