What is happing!
Took the 2006 out for a ride today and all was fine at first. I drove it about 90 miles and stopped at large gun store to shop for 22's. When I got back in and started it up the screen on the climate control looked liked the monster inTerminator wrist band. A series of short straight lines across the screen. Any **** adjustment made no difference. This has happened twice before when the dash was very cold and once when it was very hot. I will say the system cooled perfectaly. Anybody had this problem?
Thanks
Earl

Many people say that when the climate controls start to flash occasionally, the unit is getting ready to die.
The same may be true for yours, but I've never heard of that particular display issue.

What's Happening
Big Earl,
Had the exact same thing happen on my 2008. I thought the display looked like ancient hieroglyphics.
Anyway, dealer replaced the climate control "head unit" (under warranty) and it's been fine for the last two years.
Good luck with your fix.

Head Unit
Yep I agree the unit is probably toast. Think I will order one and install myself. Looks pretty much plug and play.
Rustysocket, I went to two gun stores and only found four boxes of fifty rounds and it cheap Remmington. Dealer would only allow me to buy one box for ten bucks=.20 per round. When is this madness gonna stop?

On the second part, I feel you're pain. The last time I bought .22 ammo
it was $6 for a 600 round box.
I think they have found a way around all the gun control issues.
It doesn't matter how many guns we have if we can't get or afford ammo.....
