That does match my car, what you describe, and also the bad board. I'll be checking both.
Pizzaguy wont let a battery go more than 4 years in his Crossie. You are probably due. There are numerous posts on here where a battery was "checked" good but when replaced it got the strange electrical issues to go away. The no start symptoms slightly overlap but start with a good foundation, a good battery then go from there.
