odometer occasionally displays all dashes after shutdown?
Ive noticed that the car occasionally (id say maybe a third of the time) displays all dashes across the odometer after I turn the car off. Ill shut it down, it displays dashes for a second or two and then powers down (everything else in the car is off by this point)
It never stalls on me, never fails to start or anything like I see when searching for dashes and odometer issues the pcm is flashed, no chip. It doesnt get driven a whole hell of a lot the last few months...any ideas?

Re: odometer occasionally displays all dashes after shutdown?
Kinda sounds like the battery is going out. But I would wait for some more opinions.

Re: odometer occasionally displays all dashes after shutdown?
check your terminal connections first - then the battery

Re: odometer occasionally displays all dashes after shutdown?
I agree it may be the Battery. Do the Gauges do a SWEEP, when you crank it up? If so, it's the battery for sure.

Re: odometer occasionally displays all dashes after shutdown?
nope, no gauge sweep
Ill have to wait till the procharger is installed to mess with it some more, it wont be firing up for a week or two...Weve got a battery tester in the shop here, Ill give it a good charge while its sitting then throw it on the tester.

Re: odometer occasionally displays all dashes after shutdown?
The computer is losing signal which is why it comes up as all dashes. Unfortunately, it could be the ECM going bad or it could just be a bad ground or a loose connection somewhere. I would trouble shoot that stuff before replacing parts.

Re: odometer occasionally displays all dashes after shutdown?
Interstate is made by Johnson Controls, which also makes Motorcraft...theyre 1 in the same
