1 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 09/26/2020

We had issues with car not starting all winter, but could be jumped. We bought a new battery & it worked well for a while. Then wipers started turning on randomly & over head lights would turn on. Then the car wouldn't start again, turn the key over & it started. Then it died again & every thing worked bit it wouldn't started, so we jumped it. I barely got home because it would barely drive. It has been parked in the driveway since with a red light on control panel on. Fuse box looks fine. It only clicks when the key is turned & the dash goes crazy.
