Pablo Mantoban Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I have a 2005 Legacy GT sedan, just got it a few months ago and I love the car. But I did notice a minor problem and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced it. While driving thru Tahoe during a storm, I noticed my center console display blinking. Not sure if the weather had anything to do with it, but i noticed it blinking again when I was back home. With less than 2k miles on the car currently, I pray that this is not an omen of more problems to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emorphien Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Were you running low on gas? edit: err which display was blinking? By center console do you mean the trip/gas/temp computer display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphyralph5 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 it could have been the E.T. display or the temp......It blinks 1:00 after an hour of driving and it also blinks at 32 degrees F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Mantoban Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 The tank was full. Yeah, the trip/mpg/temp display as well as the stereo display. The last time this occurred, I lit up the display by pressing the button that is located left of the trip/mpg/temp display and the flashing ceased. The flashing is very subtle now, but when it first occurred in tahoe, it was more pronounced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjoe Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 i thought i read some time ago that it blinked at 32 degrees F to warn you that it is cold enough for ice to form on the road. as for the 1 hour of driving.. i don't recall reading anything on the forums about it.

rc0032 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Its higher than 32. Mine blinked today at 37 when I got in, nice feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphyralph5 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 yeah, when i start the car (if it's cold enough) the temp will flash. As far the the hour counter, it happens everytime i drive for more than an hr. If my memory serves me right, it flashes after every hr of driving, i.e. 2:00, 3:00, etc..

emorphien Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Well the computer display will blink under the following conditions as I recall: -if the display is set to show something other than temperature it will tell you the outside temperature briefly when you start the car (I wish it would show it longer personally) -the E/T will blink at every increment of an hour (I think, either that or just at the first hour mark I can't recall) that the car is running -When the tank is starting to get low it will tell you miles till empty at every increment of 10 miles, below 10 or 20 miles I have no idea what it does.

Rely18 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 yeah the temp blinks anytime it reaches 37F or below. if the stereo display is blinking along with the trip/mpg/temp display, i don't know what that means. is it blinking steadily, or flickering inconsistently? do the lights go off totally or just dim and brighten? can you repeat the problem for the dealer? sounds almost like a poor connection or something. need more details...

TRS Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 It may be dirty contacts in the dash illumination control. See if this sounds familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
