2004 XLT
Hello all,

I've recently noticed that when I start up my 2004 XLT explorer, something strange happens. The car starts, but all of the indicators on the instrument panel remain at their lowest setting, and the needles flicker for about 10 seconds, after which the car runs without any further problems. I've attached a video below of what I mean.


Notes:
1) I did the airbox mod about 6 months ago
2) It has been cold the last 2 months
3) I drive the car an average of 10 miles per day

 












Your battery needs checking. Cold weather is great for showing up batteries on the way out.
