Default Help my car is bugging out??

So my car radio turns on and off by itself as I am driving my car. Also, tonight my head lights dimmed, ABS light came on, and Theft Light was flashing a me while driving. Any ideas? I have had this problem for several days but the Theft light flashing was new tonight.

I had a new battery replaced as it low the other day on Wednesday and had my alternator checked out ok. Any ideas with this one my car is turning into a Christine....

Note: My car had sat for over a year with a dead battery.

Thanks,
Keith

+1 check your battery terminals....all kinds of weird **** can happen if your battery is lose... gauges sweep, lights randomly flash, car runs bad then runs fine etc...
