You have to disconnect the battery to let capacitors drain etc. and everything should be fine after reconnecting.
It never happened to me,but I have read a lot of threads of this kind.
Suggested time vary by user,some say overnight,others just 30 min an hour.
Good luck.

3) oil temp
4) computer display on the cluster or the radio
5) clock on the radio (radio, however; works)

Got back home and the X started without issue but the offending items are still off.

HELP!!!
