06 pt cruiser problem dash resets , no codes Sign In

My wife has a 2006 pt cruiser touring edition with about 35,000 miles , It will drive normal and then a solid red light in the center console will light on for a second and then all the dash gauges will zero(gas level oil pressure,rpm , temp , speedometer ) and all the icons will light for about 3 seconds and then back to nornal. It does this while idle and while driving at various speeds . the obd will not log any codes and this is becoming more and more frequent. any ideas what to check or replace.

Sounds like it might be might be a cluter issue it's hard to say where to start.. I know with fords you can do a self-test on cluster with dealer scanner to full test the fuctions of the cluter. Chrysler dealership might have this too.

update:
I took my wife's pt cruiser to the local garage mechanic who had the tools to attach to the BCM , he performed a reflash of the bcm and performed a 30,000 mile service . looks like it fixed the issue (knock on wood), it hasn' done it all weekend.

I think you ment to say PCM not BCM. Tongue

Sometimes a reflash will cure strange problems because of a software glitch.

Hope it stays fixed for ya!

No, he didn't mean PCM. He knew what he was talking about. They programmed the Body Control Module. Please refrain from posting misinformation.............again

Oh.., Not used to people having problems with the BCM..
I guess the dash cluster problem should have been a clue for me. lol
