Title: instruments flicking round on start up
Post by phloid on Feb 6^th, 2006, 9:24pm

Have read fault finding page re this problem. Have had car for 2 years and I'm sure this has happened ever since i got it. Battery has been fine - no problem starting on even the coldest days. Battery reading on instrument reset is 14.1. Are there any other reasons why this happens? ???

hi there

most likely reason is too low a cranking amp rate on the battery.
