I have a 2005 Accord that's had absolutely no problems until today.  I
spent an hour or so in a bookstore during a major thunderstorm.  When
I came out to the car and turned the key, nothing happened.  After a
few minutes, turning the key lit up a couple of dashboard lights and
resulted in a rapid clicking sound.  I figured that some sort of short
from the storm drained the battery, so I called a friend to come and
give me a jump start.  The car started right away.

On the 20 minute drive home, however, some strange things happened.
First, the check engine light was on the whole way home.  Second, the
radio turned itself on and off several times.  Third, every few
minutes the instrument panel would lose power for just a moment, with
the backlight turning off and the needles falling to 0s and then
immediately coming back.  Fourth, the ABS and Battery Check lights
each went on for a few moments a few times.

None of this makes sense!  I'm going to bring it in on Tuesday, but it
would be nice to have an idea of what I'm dealing with.  Any help?

Thanks!!
