how 2 fix car l0l

So my vehicle was working just fine and dandy until the other night when I accidentally left it with two charger things in for a couple hours
Ever since then this has been how it is, despite the fact that I've driven several hours in it since. So you'd think if there was a battery problem it would be fixed by now from the engine running.
- The battery light is on, on my dashboard - The gas constantly displays as being low as possible, despite the fact I've since filled it - The little overhead electronic thing that normally can display temperature or gas mileage etc hasn't been working - The 2/4 wheel drive buttons aren't lit up - The highlighter thing for PDNR (park, drive, etc) isn't working. Those letters themselves are there but it doesn't show which one I'm on
Anybody got any ideas?

You could have got a new battery yesterday and have it dead today. Have you tried jumping your battery?
And I totally can envision you in a Chevy Blazer.

My car drives perfectly fine. I've driven for hours with it this way, so that makes me weary to believe it's entirely battery thing

I didn't think you were old enough to drive. I have to admit I'm surprised by your post.

This is what I'd check first.. Just start pulling them and see if any are blown.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

what year blazer?
based on what little info you have given it sounds like your alternator took a shit.
and depending on the year of your blazer they are also known to have fuel level sending unit failures.. so you could have 2 issues in total.
take that truck down to autozone and have them test your alternator.
you could do it yourself if you have a dvom

Bad battery cell ... maybe bad Rusty fuse. I suggest install more ram into it.

Check if your alternators bad by starting the car and removing the positive battery terminal from the battery, if the car shuts off your alternator is bad if it stays on your alternator is fine.
Have you gave your battery a good full charge since it died? If not I reccomend doing that.
Have you reset the computer and shit by removing the negative battery terminal from the battery and reconnecting it after a few minutes? If not do that.
Check the fuses.
I know what the main problem is though, you got a Chevy.

that is horrible advice these days.. that voltage spike can kill computers in vehicles these days.. in the 60's that was acceptable practice.

your wiring is messed up, my car's kinda the same. Oil light,abs break lights, ect. on my dash are lit up all the time but it's not really a big issue.... Only thing that would make me worried about is your gas gauge, hard to tell if your low on gas....
Bring it into a shop and just tell them what you did in the OP, they'll check out your car and see if anything is really wrong with it... if you say the car drives fine its probably ok.

I've done it hundreds of times with no problem, I assure you you'll be fine if you do this sheekle.
Or you could test it with a voltmeter.
