Hello. My car's dashboard went off. All gauges are off, the windows can't close, the taillights are off, the fans are not running, even the gear lever cannot move until I press swift lock. What could be the problem?

Good morning,

The first thing I would do is check the battery. Low voltage will cause all these issues.

Get a voltmeter and test the actual voltage at the battery itself.

Please get back to us with the results.
