IN THE GARAGE - The instruments always light up.
IN THE WINTER - The instruments always light up.
IN THE SUMMER - Once I travel 5; 10; 50 miles and shut tlhe car down, and come back later(and of course the car is hot inside) and start the car, the instrument panel will not work.
Usually, after driving some distance the instruments will come on. Very irregular though - sometimes 5; 10; 20; sometimes 30 miles before the instruments light up - and the door locks lock at the same time.
Do you have any ideas concerning this heat related problem ?
