Flashing dashboard display readings.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why my milometer / trip / mpg readings were all flashing.
Came to a set of lights 5mins later, turned ignition off.

Turned it back on & everything was back to normal ??????????

WTF was that all about.
 
same thing happened to me today in my 1.3 cargo 2006.
stopped for diesel restarted cluster flashing,1 hour later all ok.

hi, ive heard about these problems before on doblos, flashing displays, headlights flashing erratically, and although i have never had this on my 1.9 jtd, it does happen almost every time i plug in my obd diagnostic scanner, this i cannot explain, maybee some poor comunication between scanner and ecu, or software annomalies , but dont you thnk its a bit of a coincidence? regards, geoff.
 
Had the same on my cargo it turned out to be my fault,i fit new headlights(as i imported from england to France)and blew the indicator fuse when wiggling wire with engine running(must have earthed out)within space of ten minutes lights for preheat and various others on dash display were playing up and it was a swine to start.The fiat dealer suggested the disconnection of battery for a few hours(get radio codes first)which i tried before finding the blown fuse,according to him the flashing milometer is a warning that something is going wrong somewhere so dont just forget it or it could be expensive.Sorry for long time response

Thanks for your reply.

Hmmmmmmmmm :(

Not to sure about your answer though.

It probably meant something But I doubt its something serious. Dealer trying to get you in for some parting of your cash i feel.

It's never happened since.
