Started my car tonight and my headlights and lights on the dash board just started flickering like crazy and there is an awful clicking noise. When lights stopped flickering I started to drive down the road and they went out and then started flickering again then the service vehicle soon light came on. Any suggestions as to what the problem is?

when I had it checked out the guy told me that there was a short because of the flickering of lights inside & out, the clicking sound & if it sits with the battery hooked up it drains the battery as well.He told me that any test he's done it leads to the main body computer.Now does this mean I have to replace the main computer in this car or could there be a different problem and maybe it is a short in a wire & I'm not being told.When I called the dealership they told me the computer alone will cost apprx.$500 to $700.I really like the car cause I haven't had any real trouble up till late 2008,but this is a big cost. Would it be worth doing that type of work to it.

low beams wouldn't work, clicking in steering column and glove box, turn signal and break light on right side doesn't work. After replacing the multifunction switch and some other for $900.00 I was good for 6 mo. Transmission went now a year later same thing again with a cracked intake gasket. I need to trade it in. It won't pass inspection like this.
