did you first try a hard reset by pulling the negative cable, then touching it to the positive terminal? So many 'unrelated' electrical issues are often corrected by a hard boot procedure...I had other random symptoms - dome light would not turn off, alarm would not arm, nor car would lock...it just beeped at me. When its possessed-type behavior, always try the hard reset first, works for most exercisms.

All the symptoms you describe can also be attributed to low voltage from the battery. Have it load tested and charged and if it tests good then look for whatever is draining the battery.
