Okay, well all of a sudden my daytime running lamps aren't coming on, when I open the drivers door and take the keys out, it dings like there is something still on, my dash lights stopped working and my stereo keeps resetting its self. Also my trunk lights stopped working. And it's shifting hard. This all seemed to start happening when I plugged in that stupid snapshot device from progressive. I removed it yesterday after doing some research online.I'm not sure what else to do. The DRL sensor on the dash is not covered either. I don't think it is the ignition, it starts up fine, no clicking, no weird tach jumping when I jiggle the keys. All the fuses are good, in the inside fuse box and under the hood. I also checked my transmission fluid, it's not muddy looking or anything so I think it's something electrical making it shift rough. I'm hoping removing the snapshot device will help, after the computers cycle a few times. Rn I'm just stumped, I'm definitely not a mechanic but I'm pretty well versed on basic understanding and repairs. Oh and the battery is brand new, although I did have one time a could months ago wear I went to get in the car and it was dead, and I could not figure out why. No lights left on, no doors open etc. I jumped it with my jump pack and it started right up but I had to leave it running for a good hour because I tried shutting it off the key locked in place and wouldn't start until I jumped it again. Sorry this is kind of unorganized. Any advice you could give would be great.
I should also add that my speedometer still works and the check engine lights are still on(was like that when I got it from my grandpa) also my gas gauge and rpm gage is still working. But now all of a sudden the interior lights on the rearview mirror just started working.
