I have a 2005 Scion XB, at start up the dash lights flash, nothing works, the speedometer or gas gauge. The car runs fine and after about 15 miles or so the dash begins to work as normal. Any suggestions on what it could be is greatly appreciated.
I'm looking around at getting a used combination meter assembly just to see if I can stop the FLASHING. I removed the bezel ring around the gauges today to get the EXACT part number... mine was 83800-5c760You can get junkyard parts but odometer won't be the same and don't know if that will be issue for inspections or sale for new owner to get registration. Also heard something about odometer being able to be matched to ecu somehow. Just dealing with mine unless it gives up totally
Hello there, wondering if you ever got this fixed as mine started doing the exact same thing yesterday, identical.I know that this is a cool temperature problem with the printed circuit board behind the clock display.... I'm in South Florida and as soon as it gets above 70 this flashing has has always stopped. Here is a new one..... yesterday I got into the 2005XB, and without a key in the ignition I noticed a very slight noise every second or two. Each pulse of noise the speedometer would jiggle(visibly move) a little. If I could get a working/used replacement control board, I would be able to tell if it was the source of this new symptom. Any one have this problem?????? Has anyone got a good solution to the dash flashing problem?????
