[ponczek]

hey guys. I just bought this car on Feb 6th this year on my b-day. I love the car its a chrysler 300 touring 2006 with 68k on it. Since i oicked it up on the 10th of feb iv had a lil promblem with the dash cluster. Its happen to me like once or twice a day.. I brough it back to the dealer ship he said id have to make an appointment so thay can look at it. i got a 2000k or 30day warrenty for them so i kinda wana get this fixed..... Any way the problem im having is id be driving and all my info lights (mill light, abs, traction ect) will go on flahs a bit and my sepeedo and tach gauge will reset to 0 and then flicker a lil befor it returns to the speed im travaling, also when this happens i have to turn off the car and restart it cuz my head lights wont work unless i turn the selector to on instead of auto............
im sure im not the first with the problem iv done some looking an got a lil info but nothing really to say this is the problem... if anyone knows can they share the info so i can go to the dealer and be like this is what u got to replace.... thanks for the help

sounds like the cluster is falling off the bus (losing communication).
possible causes can range from poor connections to a shorted/open bus.
i've seen this subject in other threads but can't seem to find them now. hopefully someone who's experienced this will chime in.
