My instrument panel completely went blank, flickering and when the car is shut off it continues to click, I'm having to disconnect battery when exiting the vehicle. I have no speedometer, oil gauge, temperature gage. I have no way of knowing my speed when driving. This vehicle has been very well taken care of and maintenance when called for. It believe it causes the battery to corrioid and having to clean battery all the time. This has been continuous since buying the car in Dec 2018.
