Update: This morning my car was only barely able to start. I'm guessing the caps were somewhere around 6-8v as it took a good 30-40 seconds of charging before the cluster had enough voltage to boot up.

Unsure what happened. I didn't drive my car yesterday, and overnight temperatures rose from around 0F to 39F. Any ideas? Maybe the battery unfroze and drained the caps?

I might try removing the resistor between battery and caps.
