Default What to do?

I need a little help. the other day after i got gas everything stopped working the change oil, low tire pressure, no gas, lights were all on and it said i had no gas. the AC doesn't work its like everything electrical is dead. anyway i took it to the dealership and they said that it was because of my Periphrial Ipod adapter that i had and that they "fixed it" it took them 4 hours to tell me this but whatever. I get to my car and its still the exact same! the guy at the dealership said that i could just reflash it because its the computer? Does anyone know anything about this problem or what i could do to fix it!? its driving me insane!

i would keep the iPod disconnected until you
work out the issues.

first, i would disconnect the battery for an hour
or so, then see if things go back to normal.

let us know what happens after the battery routine

Its a flat out lie!
Your vehicle is allowing water to leak under dash.
Check your rug for moisture.
This happened to me twice, I had to unplug the battery and the computer reset and all went back to normal.
This happened after some rain, usely the next day.
Had the dealer repair the water issue hasnt happened since.

just loosen the nut on the black cable going to the battery. The battery is all the way in the back on the passenger side against the firewall. Just loosen the nut on the BLACK cable and wiggle it till the cable comes off the battery. Than lay a towel or something over the battery post and set the cable down (the towel is so you dont get any sparks if the cable touches the post)
