Well, after taking it to the dealer, they had to replace the instrument panel/cluster. In fact, they had to do it twice, because after the first replacement, I heard a strange ticking/humming sound when the car was at idle. In my case, I'm not sure if the bad instrument cluster was the cause of the electrical problem (and the dead battery), or the result of the jump start. Regardless, I'm glad the car was CPO, since it would have been expensive to fix. If the car needs a jump start again, based on my experience and others who've posted, I'm not sure what the best approach is!
