Owner report 10016449 · 2003-04-24 (April 24, 2003)
ONCE IN A WHILE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS MOIST AND RAINING, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (ALL GAUGES: TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, FUEL, TEMPERATURE) DROP TO ZERO, FLIP TO THE MAXIMUM AND THEN BACK TO ZERO. THE "AIR BAG" LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. AFTER A MINUTE, THE INSTRUMENTS WORK FINE. THE RPOBLEM REPEATS FOR THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF THE DRIVE. THERE IS NO CHANGE IN THE DRIVING, STEERING, ENGINE RPM ETC. ONLY THE INSTRUMENTS SEEM TO GET "RESET" (FLIP TO ZERO, MAXIMUM AND BACK TO ZERO). AND THE "AIR BAG" LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. *NLM
