Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2004 F250 - Most Of The Dashboard Electronics Stopped Working
I have an F-250 diesel 2004 and about six months ago it started acting really crazy. Basically most all of the dashboard electronics stopped working like the speedometer , odometer, gauges, etc. additionally all of the interior lights, and the radio stopped working. Now it looks a lot like the attached picture when I'm driving the truck. All of the lights are lit up on the dash panel but nothing actually works. I thought at first that a bunch of fuses might be blown but I have replaced nearly every fuse that has anything to do with any of the affected systems. What the issue might be.
View 11 RepliesToyota - Avalon :: 2001 - Overheating Dashboard Electronics
I have a Toyota Avalon 2001. When the dashboard multi-display reports a temperature >84oF, the clock and/or trip odometers reset, and other readings go blank.When the car cools sufficiently, all functions resume (though clock time has to be reset).
The problem has been narrowed to the multi-display module or its connectors.
Is there a way to keep the car interior cool when it sits unused in a parking lot?
I currently leave the windows open ~2in behind rain covers, installed last year, that prevent unpredictable thunderstorms from introducing mold through the partially opened windows.I currently use a reflector in the window. Both of these observably drop the cabin temperature ~20oF ,yet it is not enough.I have tried a fan, powered by the car's battery, but extrapolation from measurements indicates that before any fan moves enough air to have significant effect, it will leave the battery too drained to start the car.A solar panel powered fan generates more heat than it removes.
Is there a way to remove the expose (and reseat) the multi display connectors, by just removing the padding above the dashboard?
I have the service manual, but have not yet found how to get access to the multi display, without removing the seats, and all cowlings from the center console forward.

I was recently driving along the highway when I hit a small dip in the road (nothing serious, i drive over this everyday) and all three of the lights mentioned in the subject line came on. Nothing physical otherwise was noticed, as far as I could tell the car drove and has driven the same since.

Prius (2004-09) :: Flashing Car Symbol On Dashboard
I bought a used 2008 prius about a month ago with 44,000 miles. Tonight when I went out to get something out of the car, I noticed a flashing light on the dashboard. It looks like a car but is flashing so quickly I am not certain. I can't find anything about it.

I saw two older posts regarding no dash board lights. It is super cold here as in minus 3 degrees. Somewhat unusual for Kansas. When I started my car I had no dash board instrument lights but the MPG monitor does work. Also when I tried to shut down the power button wouldnt turn the car off and consequently the key would not release. I took it to Toyota and he told my I had the dimmer turned down(I had already tried turning it several times) to the off position. He put a new battery in the key remote and things seemed to work fine. This morning it was another sub-zero day and the same problems happened all over again. This time they diagnosed a sealed junction box on the driver side that has poor connections that seem fail due to the cold weather that needs to be replaced. It will all start all over again when it sits over night in the cold.

The air bag light on the dashboard has come on. I took the car into my dealership. The upshot is they said they'd have to rip the interior apart to track the problem or "Break in the floor wiring harness."

I have had the Prius for a little over 2 years now. Bought used and currently close to 150K miles on it and have put on about 25K miles a year.
This evening on way back home, when I turned on the Prius, I got the Red Triangle along with a bunch of other lights ON the dashboard.
Pressing the power button and everything would take much longer than usual - the lights(on the clock) was dim, the windows moved up and down rather slowly.
Eventually, i had to jump start and carefully drive home. Afraid it would stop somewhere at stop signs or long red lights, i constantly kept pumping the accelerator(not sure if that was good). Seems like need to replace the 12V battery.
Prius (2004-09) :: Dashboard Lit Up Very Next Day To Steep Hill Driving
I recently drove my 2004 Prius up some steep hills in the Smoky mountains. The next morning while driving to work, my dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree, with multiple idiot lights suddenly on simultaneously (none of them informative).
I turned around and drove to the nearest Toyota service center. They informed me that the timing belt was cracked, the HV computer was bad, and the PCV valve as dirty and needed replacing. I think the hills were too much for the car. I will never take the car into the mountains again.

I have done some maintenance on a recently purchased 2004 Prius. Namely, replaced the inverter cooling pump, the right front wheel bearing and rear brake pads.
At a certain point, the brake, (!), VSC and ABS lights came on on the dashboard.
My wife is driving this car so I did not get the exact moment when the lights came on after my repair jobs.
I then replaced the 12V battery with a new one and reset the lights with the PIN 4-13 jumper on the OBDII connector. I did retrieved the error codes of each light and I googled them without any result and I now lost the paper where I had then written on

Got flagged by a fellow driver, and told both tail lights were out; I had no dashboard warning light. Headlights were on, blinkers worked, brake lights worked. This is a small deal, but I was surprised; is there really no warning for this (2006 mid-package), or is something else the matter?

Whenever I stop the car I push the P button, and the push the foot parking brake, then I stop the car with the start/stop button. Yesterday I started the car, and forgot to push off the parking foot brake. I put the stick on D and then I started to roll, after two seconds I saw the red lamp on the dashboard telling me there's a problem, so I check and to my surprise I saw that the break was on.

Today in NY the temp in the morning was 0 d F. As I started up the car I hear a rough aggressive movement coming from the engine compartment then the Ready sign, beeping and the check engine light, (Giant red triangle ! Emergency sign), and the (!) sign.
I turned it off and one 3 times same thing, I decided to leave it and turned back home, then I noticed the battery level dropped to 2 bars from like 5 bars within 5 minutes. I did/was able to move the car back and then forth just to see if it would work, but the normal engine never came back on(on the computer screen).
