battery failure, but the cause of dead battery could be the alternator not charging the battery. x-mas tree effect is caused by electronics not getting proper voltage. engine runs rough is due to misfires again caused by weak voltage. that's my experience. others with better knowledge will chime in.

More then likely its just a dead battery. Its an 01 and I'd bet that battery has been in there forever. My 01 battery didn't go bad until 2007! I went down to the autoparts store and bought a new one, slapped it in and haven't had a problem since.

Thanks for your help guys. I changed the battery yesterday and all the lights on the dash went away. But the engine is still sounding pretty bad. Its almost like a repeated clicking noise. Also it just doesn't feel completely 100% right. I just had the oil changed about a week ago with synthetic oil, so I'm completely stumped now...

Any chance they shorted you on oil during the Oil change? It happens quite often actually.. drive the X get it warm, then turn it off. Wait 5 - 15 minutes and check the dipstick. That is the true oil level of the car as stated in the manual.

yeah I just checked it and it was dead on and still fresh looking oil. Im starting to think I may just need a tune up. Think that may be the issue? Does anyone know about how much I'm look at for a tune up? But i gotta get this thing running right again before monday.
Thanks for the input everyone.

the problems occurred after the battery went dead, so its electronics related. check your alternator too. read the codes that were stored when the engine died. you will see they are misfires.
