Default Help ! Car is going nuts .

Hello . So I got in my car and everything was fine. Then I stopped to get something and when I turned the car on there was no Heat , It would not start and the display ins't even showing anything when I hit the buttons for the heat . The trip computer also is doing the same thing but on and off . I Also have no control over the other windows and the Temp gauge stopped working . I tried to take off the battery and reinstall it but I got nothing . I appreciate any help !

I just had the battery checked and it's good. Can it be the alternator?

I would say yes there is a remote possibility it could be the alternator starting to die on ya and since that charges the battery; then that may be the reason for the non start. Does it sound like its trying to crank over very slowly? because if that is the case but you know the battery is good; then i would say yes on the alternator. Im not a service tech by any means but i do have experience with some mechanical aspects from my experience in working on vehicles in the past
