Consumer Description
I HAD A 1994 LS400. EVERY MORNING, UPON A COLD START FIRST TIME, MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DOES NOT LIGHT UP IMMEDIATELY. THE FOLLOWING INSTRUMENTS ARE COMPLETELY DARK:- TACHOMETER (NEEDLE IS MOVING) SPEEDOMETER (NEEDLE IS MOVING) OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE (DEAD) FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR (DEAD) ODOMETER (DEAD IE NO MILEAGE INCREMENTING) D, 2, L GEAR POSITION NOT SHOWING (P, R, N IS OK) CRUISE, POWER EC INDICATORS NOT SHOWING USUALLY AFTER 15 MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS DRIVING, THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER FOR A MINUTE AND THEN COME ON FOR THE REST OF THE DRIVE. THE PROCESS IS REPEATABLE EVERY DAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS I HAVE NO IDEA AT WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING AT OR THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE THAT IS IN MY CAR. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DIRVE THE CAR WITH THIS PROBLEM AS SHE MAY BE STRANDED ANYTIME. *AK
