Dash acting weird
OK this is a weird problem.
Thursday morning I was heading to work, and 10 minutes into the drive the dash ding sounded, the coolent light came on and temp read COLD. I pulled over, shut the engine down, checked to see if the radiator was warm, restarted and it was ok. The next day the dealership found nothing, not even a code. They thought maybe it "burped" an air pocket.
After I picked it, the dash ding sounded again and this time the brake light was on. I checked the e-brake and it was down. I shifted out of reverse (5 speed manual, 2005 basic) and the light went out.
On Saturday after work the light came on again several times, either when I shifted into a gear, or by pressing the brake pedal. It only dinged at me when I first shifted into reverse for the first time after work, otherwise the light just came on. Finally it came on after driving home on the highway and just stayed on, even while driving in town and shifting gears.
So far I have done nothing to my Cruiser, no modifications (yet).
A buddy at work thinks the serial data to the dash is getting noise. [:I]
