SRT Electric Problem

[Hiss Toy]

I had just left the house and after about 5 miles all the gauges and I mean all the gauges went dead. I made a turn to head home, but pulled over and parked for a minute, restarted the engine and everything worked fine. Any ideas to the cause.

I experienced the same problem a couple of weeks ago. I pulled over, shut the engine off and restarted it immediately and everything was fine. It would be nice to know what caused this malfunction.

I am going to take it to a tech next week for checkup and change the initial oil. If he comes up with anything I will post

if memory serves, the instrument cluster communicates on the vehicle bus. If bus communication drops, then the gauges may go "dead". Re-starting fixed it because it reboots the body controller.

my guess is there's either the bus line has an intermittent short, or there's a problem with the cluster.

I will mention that to the Viper Tech

Thank you,

Check the connectors, maybe road vibration is making them open intermittantly.

I had one of the small 20amp microfuse blow out and it put all guages to zero, lit up the red lights and the car wouldn't start. Replaced the fuse and I was back in business. I just hope it was a faulty fuse!!
