Delayed Radio/Window/Accessory Turn on

[tekgarage]

Hello all,

Recently took out my cluster on my 2002 EXP limited for a bulb replacement and ran into a head-scratching issue. (Battery was also disconnected for a very long period of time if helpful)

After putting everything back together, I ran into a delay issues when turning the key to the on position or starting the car up. The radio, window controls, fuel gauge, tachometer, battery voltage gauge and oil pressure gauge take about 15 seconds to turn on after the key is turned. After the 15-30 seconds, they work fine with no issues. However, it is quite an annoying glitch as you can imagine. Does anyone have any ideas on what can be the issue?

That is a strange one. :scratch:

I would start by checking all the connectors/connections. I know this is going to be a huge PITA since you will basically have to do it all again.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me will chime in.

Good luck getting it sorted and be sure to keep us posted.
