recharge battery

but take to car part shop and have alternator checked

low power makes electronics go crazy and unpredictable.

check fuse - the main one.
Also, loose bolts cause the alternator to not charge.

warning! loose bolts linked to ECU frying, so solve ASAP

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Loose alternator mounting bolts (or any other reason the alternator is not properly grounded), can and will ruin the PCM.
