I started the car and moved out of our driveway then turned off the car to shut and lock the house gates, when re-entering the car and starting it up, all the power in the electronics seemed to have died, the ignition button wouldn’t work, the blowers (ac) keep stuttering and the key fobs don’t even lock/unlock the car, when the key fobs are pressed the car makes a strange clicking noise from the dashboard/hood for about 8 seconds then stops, please help
