BigT Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 So I've been noticing that my car display on my 05 LGT says Ill5 and Ill6 sometimes... I am not hitting it with my knee! I know that has already been discussed elsewhere. But seriously, sometimes while I'm driving it will just say Ill 5 or Ill 6. More often than not it will fluctuate between the two and then revert to the odometer display. I've listed a set of descriptions below to do with my car. Any input would be good. 1. Remote start installed, so the lights flicker when I have them off, so I just leave them on all the time and press the illuminate button on the carputer underneath the cubby. 2. I have HIDs 3. Yeah thats about it.... I thought this list was gonna be longer. Anybody have any ideas? Also, why do my lights turn into strobe lights with my remote start?

c-lo Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 you don't have to hit it with your knee. don't think it's related to your other issues. happens to mine occasionally. If i remember from another post, you may be able to bring it back to the dealer to get the switch replaced. I'm not concerned though, doesn't happen to mine enough. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnAWD Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Sounds like a faulty switch to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Run the illumination adjustment roller switch up and down quickly a few times to clean off the contacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 It's exactly what I think. A lack of searching has led another n00b to falsely believe he's posting something a bazillion of us didn't already know about. Get the dealer to check it as others have suggested. They've replaced several under warranty. If you're out of warranty, then you'll need to decide if you want to do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Has anyone noticed that those that have issues have it set on 5 or 6. I don't know how any of you can drive around with the instruements that bright. I have it set on 1 and some times wish it was dimmer. But with over 65K miles, I have not had any problems with it.

I've noticed that on a dark street on the suburbs I like it lower too, but here in the city if I don't have it on 5 or 6 the external lights (cars, streetlights, signs, buildings etc.) it gets totally blocked out. You can't even see the stars at night here Just a purple hue in the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey I guess we're still n00bs because we're under 1000 posts. I think I'll try North Coast Subaru for the info panel. They seem to be pretty good about mods.

rexster Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 it's an electrical gremlin. could be the switch, could be static. my car does this and i haven't modifed the interior at all. i've also seen the stereo volume change on it's own. i think it's supposed to do this to distract you so you don't notice that the focking glove box opened again...
