Needle sweeping on startup not working

elmz · 11-24-2010, 10:29 AM

I just realized that my guages don't sweep like they used to during startup. Now, instead of doing the sweep, they just sit there and at exactly the time the sweeping usually finishes, the guages kick on. Not a big deal to me, but I do like the sweeping motion. I was just wondering if there was a quick fix for this before I schedule something with my dealer.

I haven't heard of any quick fixes for that. I think that's something the dealer needs to check out. The might be something that needs to be replaced. Let them do it so it's free!

There's a setting for that, in the left hand LCD. Make sure it isn't turned off, maybe if you had the battery disconnected or something.

You were right! There is an option to turn off "Effects" in the LCD menu. Rep for you.

Thanks!

I agree, the sweeping motion is like an "ooh aww" factor.

If you did, the dealer would have ripped your whole dash out by now

That's funny because when I hit the effects button setting, all of the sudden I got a bright green underglow lighting that came on under the car and around the grill. Maybe I did something wrong?
