Default HUD Question

My HUD is set to show fuel level, but once every 4 or 5 times that I crank it up, it has changed to the temp, or oil gage. What would cause this?

Mine did the EXACT same thing. You might also look at your DIC as well. Mine would change back to the odometer reading everrytime I would start the car and pretty much every thing else would Zero" out. Once I changed out the battery, problem is gone.

w/ all of the above. Same thing happened to me b/4 my 3rd (and last) Optima Red Top died out on me. Installed a new battery (Sears DieHard) and problem was gone. Good luck...

If you disconnect the battery, it will go to oil, not temperature. I quess that is the default setting for the HUD. If yours goes to something other than oil, it might not be the battery...

I'll join in with the majority and say the battery is the culprit.

I guess it's a nice way of warning you before it happens. At least I won't be as suprised.
