Since it occurred with a battery failure, I recommend seeing how it does
after the battery is replaced (or temporarily disconnect the battery now).
It is common for all sorts of car electronics to get a "dirty boot" if the
voltage is raised from something very low to 12 volts gradually. A power-on
reset usually fixes it right up.
