There a clicking sound behind temperature and radio panel. First all the functions for temperature/climate control stopped working/wont work blow at all. Next all, warning lights came on, but gauges stopped working. Then radio stopped won't come on, at all. But, all lights are lit. Now, the car will start, but shuts right back off. Please help!

Good evening,

This sounds like low voltage issue.

I would start by cleaning the battery cables very well and checking the voltage.

I would also check the alternator charging voltage to be sure it is maintaining the battery.
