hi all,
ive just got into the camaro scene, this being my first american car . i live near Leeds in the UK. (anyone on here know about the meets in Leeds???)

ive got myself a very nice euro spec 1999 Z28, in black , it absolutly beautiful. only one thing bothering me though. every time i start the car the trip meter resets itself so i have know idea how many miles ive done, slightly annoying and ive only had it 2 days. any help ???
thanks

 

welcome to the forums. That sounds very strange. Did u person u got it from tell u about this problem with it? Did u check and make sure that reset buttom isnt stuck?

 

the button isnt stuck in and i didnt see it until now, its not a major problem just annoying. it remembers the trip with ignition on but after cranking the engine it resets the trip, plus all the dials reset ( move up and down or is this normal??) i dunno if it has a weak battery or something as it still starts up fine but cant nderstand the dash reset

 

so when u start the car the needles move to the top point and go back?

 

yes when i start the car the needles moveto top and back

 

I had a '91 and mine didnt do that. I know u have a different year and all but I wonder if that is the cluster. I do believe that the cluster is a complete unit that plugs in.

 

i know that many cars will do a full sweep of all gauges at startup. Also they will run the idiot lights. Probably nothing to worry about, but keep an eye on it. Good luck with everything and welcome to the forums.

 

I know nothing about cars so I can't help you with your problem. Just wanted to say welcome. Welcome!
