The cars gauge cluster (the cheapo one with a huge speedo and small tach and 1" tall fuel gauge on the LCD screen) did not come on when I started it this morning. The only thing in the cluster that works is the turning signals, high beam light, and door chimer. The car still moved so I figured id still drive it to work and check it out when i got home. A mile down the road it went into a kind of limp mode, would only go about 10 mph in any gear but tried to get it back home. After about 5 minutes of this it just quit and would not start. Now its acting like the battery is dead. I just bought the car a few months ago and I love it for its simplicity and its manual transmission, also it only has 109k miles.
Should I just bite the bullet and take it to the local dealer for diagnostic ($110)? Ive checked all the fuses they all are unblown. A bit of digging here and on other sites suggests the BCM may be at fault? Any help is much appreciated.
