The battery discharge issue is due to an excessive current drain on the battery while the ignition is OFF. The instrument panel issue could be due to just a loose connector going to the panel. If you aren’t a do-it-yourselfer then take the vehicle to a shop and have them check those things. Any decent shop should be able to fix those things pretty easily. They are simple problems to find and fix.
