There was a leak in my windshield causing water to drain onto my ECU. This caused multiple issues. The car would run fine but all the dash lights (excluding the check engine light) would turn on and the gauges would go dead. We repaired the windshield hoping the ECU would dry and it would be fine. This worked for a week or so but then the dash went dead again and the power steering went out as well. There was also another occasion where my check engine light had turned on as well which we were told could be apart of the ECU problem as well.
