Dashboard isn't working
Hey guys,
I live in Pennsylvania and we gotta a good amount of snow this winter. I've also had problems with my E350's registration so I just left it in my driveway. I stopped driving it in December and would start it every few weeks to keep it going. Around the end of February my car wouldn't start and my battery was pretty much dead so I didn't do anything to it. Then a few weeks ago I jumped the car and it worked till I took the key out and it immediately died. I was going to buy another battery but today when I checked up on the car again and jumped it my dashboard doesn't work at all. All of the other lights and features in the car work including my radio. However, none of the guages and lights on the dash work. I have no idea what to do.

Jumping electronic car with dead battery can always bring whole bunch of havoc.
Get new battery, check all the connections and then see if you still have problem.
Hopefully just bad connection, but computers don't respond to voltage spikes too well.
