My computer as well as the temperature guage is shorting out(so i believe). The temp. guage only dims, but the actual computer down below will completely shut off.

The buttons that say "Econo", "Range", "Reset", and such, still stay lit up.

With these shorting, my "Check Guage" light is literally flickering.

These instances do not always happen. It seems they "short out" after i've been driving for a while.

In no way does this at all affect the driveability of the vehicle, but it just looks like crap when the things just sit there and flicker while i'm driving at night.

Any help would greatly be appreciated. Please and Thank you.
 






Does anybody have any idea? It's really starting to bother me.
 






That could be alot of things. First I'd check grounds and connectors. Something like this might be best taken to the dealer if you don't want to get into some serious troubleshooting.
 






Grounds and connectors to what? But is there any way it could have anything to do w/ my CD/radio? I have been messing w/ that lately.

I don't know how though...

Any thoughts from others?
