2002 Bird Dash-board issues in the cold weather

This morning my 2002 Bird's dashboard was illuminating the images below, the speedometer was not engaging and the lights inside the car (under dash and on rearview mirrow) stayed on for 30 min. The mileage was completely gone. It was 37', I let her warm up, she drove normally. When I left everything was working but the inside lights stayed on the entire drive home and stayed on for 30 min after I turned her off.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

How old is your battery? It should have a date sticker. This could be the problem.

Have you checked the interior light switch to make sure it's not in the on position?

Video record the dash start up, upload to YouTube and then post a link here.

Read your codes/pending codes with an OBDII Reader. If don't have one, you should because it's a vital education tool for DIY and avoiding getting ripped off at the mechanic!

Anyone else chime in below. @doug7740 are you still around?
