I would have the battery load tested.

If the battery went so dead it damaged it, that will result in some pretty strange behavior in vehicles with so many computer controlled systems. Old batteries cause weird things too, even though they are plenty strong enough to crank the engine.

Ii would pull off the positive cable ... touch it to the negative cable to clear any "stored information", then put the positive cable back on the battery and see if that has any effect.

Charge the battery up overnight thoroughly with a charger to 100% and let it cook for a while before testing or anything else.
