I started the car up today, first thing I noticed was that the date/time was reset to the stock setting. The after a few seconds the cluster shut "off" for a split second and came back on. All the gauges fell to 0 and the lights went off in the cluster but then popped back up instantly. The date and time was reset again. This happened kind of sporadically at idle. A little while it would be normal, then "reset." I drove around for a bit and everything seemed fine. No engine weirdness, and none of those electrical issues appeared when I was in motion. I drove all the way back from school to home (1.5 hour drive) with zero problems. After I turned the car off, and on again later the time/date were reset again. Then later on (at night) when I parked, turned my lights off, and removed the key, the cluster, radio, and climate control lights were still on. I turned on the ignition and off again and the cluster and radio went out. The climate control stayed on for ~30secs after I locked the car. I am drawing a blank right now, could it be that my battery is just dying? I have not changed it at all since owning the car (almost 2.5 years) and I have no clue how long it has been in there for.
Help?
P.S. Car starts up fine, no hesitation or anything. No CEL. Didn't find any fault codes, but I only have the $20 eBay version.
TIA.
Edit: Also, one time when I turned the car on, it told me I had 0 gas (when I knew I had probably a little less than a quarter) and that a parking light was out. The parking light fault went away almost immediately, but still it said I had "0 miles" till empty. I put in a gallon at a gas station and then the gas gauge went to about quarter....
