How accurate is the battery gauge?

Hold on. Attaching clamps to shift knob.

Intermittent problems such as you are experiencing are often caused by a bad connection. If nothing is working, clean the battery terminals. If some things are working, check wiring connectors and fuses/fusible links for corrosion.

Got you. Thank you! Funny thing is I pulled the fuse for my steering lock yesterday as well but that doesn't have to do with anything right?

Yours doesn't sound like an ESCL (AKA steering lock) problem to me. But it's been a while since I worried about ESCLs. See link in my sig for more info on ESCL problems.

If the ESCL was in the proper position when you pulled the fuse, it shouldn't have anything to do with your problem.

The FSM (link in my sig) has wiring diagrams that should allow you to narrow down the areas that could be the problem. A multimeter will be a big help.
