Ok, this is a 2004 xc70, approx 81k miles. I'm original owner.
No history of electrical issues, but it is on the original battery (I know I know, it's too old).
Today I got in the car after work to come home. As I approached I noticed that the key fob wouldn't unlock the doors, then I noticed other quirks. The car did start and runs fine except takes longer than normal to "spool up" in rpm's from a stop to begin moving. I drove it home, but all kinds of electrical things aren't working. I checked fuses and haven't found any bad ones. Here is a list of things that do and don't work; not comprehensive I'm sure because so many things don't work.
Doesn't Work: high beams, rear automatic windows on both sides, turn signals, entire instrument panel (nether the lights in the panel nor the actual functionality..i.e. no speedo, no tach, etc...the instrument panel is completely black except for the check engine light which remains on), no controls on the steering wheel work, reverse lights, sun roof, automatic lock button
Works: Engine, ignition (it's driveable), low beams, wipers, automatic windows for driver and passenger only, tail lights, brake lights, radio and most things in the center console along with it.
Any thoughts? Thanks for the time!
