- Chrysler PT Cruiser Dash Lights Instrument Cluster lights ON & OFF Blinking COMMON PROBLEM!
► Our Website for Tools, Parts and more Videos: mechaniclifesty...
We took this video to show you how to Fix a COMMON Problem on a Chrysler Pt Cruiser. So far we had 3 pt cruisers with the same problem at the shop. When you drive the car and your dash light come on & off and the speedometer and tachometer quit working for a few seconds and then come back it is caused by the wires that go in the ignition switch. Most of the time there is a metal plate underneath the steering column that the wires rub against, or the wires going to the ignition switch are too loose. Which occurred to us in this video. Very rare but it happens to be the ignition switch itself.
This will work on all Chrysler Pt Cruiser Models:
2001 Chrysler Pt Cruiser
2002 Chrysler Pt Cruiser
2003 Chrysler Pt Cruiser
2004 Chrysler Pt Cruiser
2005 Chrysler Pt Cruiser
2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser
2007 Chrysler Pt Cruiser
2008 Chrysler Pt Cruiser
2009 Chrysler Pt Cruiser
2010 Chrysler Pt Cruiser

i am currently going through this now and my mechanic told me could be something with the ignition switch so hopefully this may be the problem instead of replacing the whole switch. This was very hopeful and finally will be much closer to solving the problem. Thank you so much for your video so much of pt cruiser community appreciates you.
My 2006 pt cruiser was doing the same thing. I saw your video brought my car into my mechanic. The mechanic got the check engine codes. 8 different codes showed up not related to each other. They thought I needed a whole computer board. They then googled this video that I told them about. They did exactly what you said. Problem fixed! Thank you sooooo much.
Good to know it. But you had checked to see if these error codes were clear afterwards?
SWEET! Air bag light came on couple of months ago (clockspring), purchased a replacement waiting for me to install. Temps got hot, dashlights started doing this flicker thing. Saw your video, replaced the clockspring, and corrected the contacts on this plug. One week later, problem has not come back!!! BTW, my 2009 is a basic model with no buttons on the steering wheel. Bought the clockspring on ebay for $17 dollars. Several car models use the same clockspring, look for "106AF" in big typeface. I think mine said it was for a Jeep 🙂 Thank you for the video! UPDATE: Been a month, no recurrence, NICE!
I used this procedure to fix my 2006 Cruiser. Worked like a champ. Thanks much.
Thank you so much for posting the video! Most people would just replace the ignition switch and not think twice about WHY it wasn't working in the first place. A lose wire, that's it! Excellent vehicle diagnosis!!
I actually cleaned my battery terminals, as they had a lot of corrosion, and it fixed the problem.
2006 pt cruiser.... started with gauges going crazy...eventually so bad all power to engine stopped.... this fixed the issue thank god!!! also thought we needed to replace the starter and this fixed the starter issue also
All I can say is so many thanks for the trouble that you took in making this video as I had this problem on my PT convertible and with your wonderful guidance the problem was solved exactly as shown on your U-Tube video, 400 miles later its still fine. So again many many thanks.
Thank you so much, with this video I fixed the problem on my 2006 PT, no stress anymore that the engine stops because of this wires problem !!!
Everytime these guys are on there game with the help. Thanks
I can not find a mechanic that can fix the right side of window switch but I think you gave me some insight ! thank you very much ..................
Well, glad I saw this video. I've been having this problem with an 07 PT Cruiser I've recently acquired. Hopefully, mine is a simple fix like this one.
Thanks my 2008 PT Cruiser had all instrument lights come on while driving today for no reason. I never lost power etc. If it happens again I'll hope it is a simple fix like this video. Thanks I love people sharing knowledge on TH-cam.
You saved me a trip to the mechanic. Thank you.
+pvsherman We are glad to hear that the video was helpful. If you ever need help with your vehicle let us know you can also find us on Our Official Facebook Page here: facebook.com/worldmechanicsofficialpage/?fref=ts
+World Mechanics Worked for a couple of days and started blinking again. Time to replace the switch?
Thank you sir for this video!
I fixed the red light but the connector was bad. Had to buy new one to solder on.
Now the car runs again with no red dot on dash.
Wouldn't know how to fix problem without this video.
Thank you again!
Thank you for posting this video. I hope this fixes my problem on '08 PT Cruiser!
thank you, so far no issues after watching your video and do what you suggested
Good ol' Chrysler, three screws holding the bottom plate one, two of one kind, one something entirely different. Just because.
Wow it worked 😄😀😀😀😀😀 Thanks!!! Saved me a bunch am sure (I'm broke, hence my inquisitive nature) Be blessed!!!!! 😘😘
This seems like my 2003 pt cruiser problem. At first only when I turned left, then turn right also, then over any bump in the road even when the car is off any bump causes the overhead light to go on and the chime to ding and the word door to go on. All goes back to normal as the overhead light fades off and the word door light disappears unless there is a bump. I have turned the dash lights off via the steering wheel stick where the controls are but at night of course no lights on the dashboard. I could not quite tell what you did to the wire connections, did you actually screw tighten them or something else?
Thank you so much for this video, whenever I have brought this problem up to the mechanics no one wants to solve the problem.
Thank you so much had this problem did exactly like you said and the problem is fix. your videos are the best
This was a great fix was just getting ready to buy an instrument cluster
How do you change the ignition switch on a 2009 PT Cruiser I watch your videos all the time and they do help me out a lot
Would that switch make the gauges go crazy as well as putting all the dash lights on ? Thank you
You were 100% correct my friend!!!
Hi there! I have a question for you. I have a 2006 PT Cruiser and it's been doing this for months on and off. Yesterday after erratically doing this it stopped and wouldn't come back on at all. Before I take it to get serviced I just want to know if this could be the reason it stopped?
thanks man!!!!!!!! do more videos on the crusier!!!!!!!!
I spent $500 a couple months ago getting an electrical diagnostic and electrical repair work done because my instrument cluster was doing this exact thing on my 2007 pt cruiser. They told me rats ate my wiring and and it's fixed but it started doing it again. Seeing this video now and I know I got ripped off for sure. I only found this video because I'm installing a back-up cam and trying to figure out if the purple-and-black wire on the back up light is the positive
This has just started to happen to my 2006 pt cruiser....many thanks for video.very helpful
+Trev D We are glad to hear that it was helpful! If you have any questions or need help with something let us know. You can also find us on our New Facebook Page: facebook.com/worldmechanicsofficialpage/?fref=ts
+World Mechanics hi! have the same problem now. it comes and goes, it will blink one time and ding one time and stay on. then will go away and blink one time again with one ding. any idea what might be the problem or how I can fix this? I highly appreciate it .
Thanks very much for your video. Problem fixed
I think the problem with this is different things can cause the dash cluster to bug out so everyone has slightly different problems. One observation i have noticed atleast in my case is that this happens to me only when i turn the dome light on manually by turning the interior lights/brightness switch all the way on and then clicking it over to the last setting that keeps the dome light on. Only when i turn my dome light on manually by doing that is when my car freaks out and the cluster lights comes on, gauges go down and car stalls. Definitely an electrical problem, im going to start by checking the fuse for the dome light then go from there.
Finally found the right video
I inherited my grandmother's 2006 PT Cruiser and this was a problem when she was driving it. I took it to the Chrysler dealership where she bought it and they couldn't figure out the problem. They said they drove it and saw the cluster lights come on but the lights didn't stay on long enough for them to get back to the dealership to connect it to the diagnostic machine. I'm going to try this and hope that it works.
Thanks fron Brazil
Worked for me!!! Thank you!!!!
Thanks. I followed your advice and I happy to drive while then it come again, do I have to fix wire again or which part do I have to order it, please let me know my best miracle machanic.
I've found that most of the time it is the IGNITION SWITCH. Replace the Ignition Switch! You will not be able to do this yourself, because of the anti-theft screw head on top of the switch. One hour of labor ($90) and the switch from the dealer is $51. Total: $141.
tamper proof tools are available at all auto-part stores!
Thank you thank you!!!!
My 06 PT does same , but sometimes stalls out and air condition won't work . I bought car new and Chrysler wouldn't do anything for me , even on warranty . It also burnt oil from day one . There explanation is they all do that . Took intake plenum off to change sparkplugs , and found oil in the plenum . This suggests bad oil stem seals . This week car turned to 60,000 miles . As you can see I haven't driven it much . I'm not a kid I'm 65 years old . I have changed oil and filters every 3,000 miles myself .I truly have the P T from hell and wish I had never bought this car . Thanks Chrysler for EFFING me .
Your good friend Vinny in good old Fla .
Hello and thanks for the video. I have been having this problem for several years. Its pretty annoying. Sometimes it causes the car to stall out which can be scary. I did everything you suggested in this video and all pieces looked good. The Problem is still happening. What should i look at next?
This happened to 2 of my pt cruisers. The first one ended up in an accident and getting sold. With the last one I had an ignition switch put in and it solved the problem with the flashing lights, but now my door chime goes off when I open the door even when the key is removed. It says that the door is ajar and that the key is in the ignition. Also my clicker won't open and lock doors. I have to do it manually. Can you help?
Would this particular problem cause the car to stall as well? My 09 is doing the same thing but the engine cuts out and dies as well sometimes
Thank you so much! :) lots of help
I tightened down batter terminals and it stopped.
Try that first.
it worked for me and no cost.
I'm surprised there isn't more information on here about that. Makes sense because my terminals just started to get gummed up then the gauge went out while driving..Gonna do the terms first :)
Great man thank you for your help👍
Hello, I have been having this problem for months now. Is it possible for this to affect the performance of the vehicle. Sometimes when I am pulling out of a parking space or making a u turn. All of a sudden when I put the car in drive. I start rolling in reverse. Also when im driving all if a sudden the car feels lie it doesn't want to go. I give it gas but the engine just revs until finally it jerks and speeds up. PLEASE HELP IF POSSIBLE!!
Where is located the ECU in a PT cruiser 2.2 crd 150 cv diesel year 2010 Mercedes Benz engine?
my battery, a delco, was at fault. had dash lights come on followed by stalling as well as a very long seat belt alarm. even blew a 10amp fuse . tried to charge battery, got an F01 error on a trickle charger and never finished on a regular charger
I have a question I drive a 2006 pt cruiser and when I turn the rear windshield wiper on it makes the check engine light come on or cuts the car off
Fantastic, thank you very much
My 2006 PT cruiser no bus I turn the key to the start position no start I need your opinion
I have 2008 Pt cruiser and it has Error Message right on the odometer! Can u help to resolve the problem?
Had 2009 cruiser instrument cluster lights whent crazy and the car would stall wires were good so I replaced the ignition switch 30$ and it fixed it
Me funcionó, gracias 🎉
Thanks for this very useful video. You are a true humanitarian.
+Lawrence Ballack Thank you for watching our videos! Glad it was helpful.
Except it does NOT fix the problem on all PT's.
....and your point is?
Lawrence Ballack There is still problems that this procedure does not fix.Exact same symptons.We are all looking for an absolute fix as Chrysler has no answers either.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🤞🤞🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thanks! It'll be great if this works for me!! ☮️💞🙏🏼
Sir I have a cuestión my pt cruiser 2006 headlights signal light for ways wiper not working what I do please help me
it worked ....thank you
Nice job
thanks for this video!
pauljupiter71 Thank you for watching our channel! We hope it was helpful and it helped you fix your pt cruiser
yes mine also 2006///excellent thank you
Could you please show how to repair 06 or cruiser windshield wiper issues?
Hello I have 02 PT cruiser how do I reset the engine light
I'm hoping this is it, but I'm thinking it might be my ignition switch. It was hard turning for a while, now it turns easy and the lights are on.
Have put up with this problem for quite some time. My mechanic could not figure it out, I had the ignition switch replaced any way about 6 months ago. I still get the problem randomly and will try this. But just worried about deploying the air bag. if i disconnect the battery and wait 15 minutes then start working on the wires will that be safe, thanks in advance.
+stargate1961 that would be great
Nice video
Hi. I have a problem with the light of oil before change the oil and filter, i check the oil level and is perfect, i cant drive, because the buzzer is sound all time, tuun tuun tuun tuun tuun and i have a headache. Can i deactivate the buzzer?
widebide this is my problem too
tengo un p t crusier y le pasa lo mismo y no pueden aser la llave de la alarma cuando meten el código marca error me puedes a ayudar gracias no se inglés tu vídeo esta también en español
what a bout a Chrysler 300 2006 same problem. What would I have to do?
+John Robledo most likely it is the same problem. I think the part is the same but I not 100% sure. I will look into it and I will let you know!
Did you ever find out because I'm having the same problem with my 2007 Dodge Magnum
Hi, this one was really helpful. Could you show how to fix the dashboard clock on a 2006 model?
Are you talking about the analog clock above the window switches? If so, press and hold the little peg on the bottom until it reads the time you want. The digital radio clock is more complicated.
@@learningtobeme5195 thanks
Hey World Mechanics and everyone else with the cluster lights problem. I figured out how to fix the one huge problem with both the cluster lights on going all crazy and the problem with the vehicle turning off. I uploaded a video explaining what i did. I will describe here just in case you don't want to see my video. To make this explanation short, I had to buy a used ignition switch assembly for $65 and "flashed" in a way, the alarm system synchronized with the cars CPU.. Ok look to make things easy just watch my video for exact explanation cause, its been more than 6 months and i have not had the same problem, ive only had the problem with my cars battery being old or the battery terminals being corroded and needed to be cleaned or replaced.
Bro how bout pulling down the access panel of lower dash behind steering wheel first
My oil light keeps coming on when I'm in a complete stop. I change the oil sensor and still doing it. need help fixing this problem please. Anything that could help.
And what does it have to do with the fact that the car wants to turn off when it goes on the road?
Someone should sue Chrysler for breaking their car. Had to pay 137 $ towing , 200 $ ECM , and 350 $ tmc all because the Damn code that don't tell you what to fix only leaving you waiting for a tow truck . And it's not fixed yet so anyone want to buy a cherry PT Cruiser ?
Clifton Lowrey watched 4 ucon'nect
Did that. No difference.Dash lights all come on at once and tach and speedo quit.Go out next morning and there is a dead short somewhere.Not even a regular boost will start the car.
While driving all the instrument lights will come on and go off on a 2006 PT Cruiser what could the problem be
thank you!
my pt cruiser turbo has a problem key turns but won't start at all it just seems like it locked from starting
Omar Bustos my problem began like this video... all the dashlights comin on and gauges goin down and back up. Now, my car will intermittently start. I am leaning toward ignition switch from what it was doing like in this video, but also am reading that a bad ignition relay can cause the intermittent starting.
It didn't work for me. I must be the 1 out of 10 who has a bad ignition switch. Do you have a video or advice in how to put in the ignition switch for a 2006 PT Cruiser? Thanks.
Ever see one where the brights pop on when the cars off and get stuck on?
I have same problems in 2007 also my air filter box is damage
+Hajiagha this is a very common problem. If you need help with the airbox let us know and we will make a video once we get a pt cruiser at the shop
+World Mechanics I am handyman I do...i change filter was dirty and light go off for one day.. and light back on again ?must be some things else
I have all the instrument cluster light suddenly came on sold in my 2004 GMC ENVOY. Could you please advice on how to fix it. Thank you
Please tell me what does the red dot bottom center indicate? I have never seen this come on until a couple of days ago. AAA came out and scanned my car and showed the starter was getting zero power but the alternator is good and the battery is good.
I don't know if I need to fix the cluster as in this video, replace the starter or ignition switch. For a couple of days my car would not start right away, then it did and drove as usual. Eventually it would not crank at all.
Additionally the key fob insides were missing?!?! At first I thought this was the problem, I don't know how this happened. I replaced the battery in the fob I screwed the case back together and the night that my car broke down I noticed that the insides (the little motherboard) were completely gone yet the case was still screwed together. There is one hole of a missing button but the battery alone is three times the size of that hole. I have no idea how this happened.
I'm on extremely limited funds the mechanic I like has me by parts than he installs but I don't want to buy a new starter if I don't need it then have to return it as I've no transportation to do all of the errands. I don't know if it's okay for me to do the procedure you have in this video or if he should do it I don't have those T screwdrivers for the security issue. I am pretty handy I've done a lot of work on this car and previous cars that I've owned so I'm not afraid to try something like this but I don't want to do damage.
😭
Tengo un pt 2006 le parpadea la luz de la llave y no prende le prende todo el tablero pero el carro no ensiede
Can anyone tell me what the Red Dot at the bottom of the Instrument Cluster @0:02 means or refers to . Thanks .
Alven Jensen that’s the security light.. it also comes on when you lock your car door
My left screen doesn't work, neither does my cab light, but it comes on with the switch when I turn right only 💀
lost the remote to my alarm got a new starter put in. now my alarm wont cut off while the car is on. how can i disable the alarm. i have a 2006 Chrysler pt cruiser convertible. please help.
Earleesa Daniel fuse
i had the same problem and i put a new battery and the problem went a way
Hola a todos. teneis que cambiar el ignition switch por uno nuevo ,es la pieza de color blanco a la cual se esta conectando ese pin www.ptcompany.co.uk/catalogue/maintenance7.htm#ign1 Un saludo amigos
Hold Up! why you didn't show switch Video wend you where done?
What a scam!!! It doesn't matter if the cables behind the connector moves one way or another, the blue plastic 3:28 piece inside is a second lock which secures the terminal assembly and position in the contact area. By bending the terminals 3:39 you can break the terminals (contact) and damage the mate connector
Nothing works for me 😔
This is EXACTLY what's happening with my Kitty Cruiser
Would that be the cause for this 2005 Dodge Dakota? We checked all the grounds, replaced the fcm and the instrument cluster.

Hi. I have 2006 Pt Cruiser.
Dash lights issue.
Well we live and hopefully we learn. One day while driving and thinking..i hit my steering wheel with my fists..like maybe around the 10 and 2 position ...and ...a bunch of dash lights came on!😮. So to try to get them off i hit the dashboard and they went off.
But that was just in my community. Maybe a few weeks later I was on a major road and had issue with seeming to lose my acceleration power when the dash lights came on...but they went off pretty fast...and after they went off..i got restored power to power gas pedal. Im not sure why power cut out...but apparently on other internet locations..people may have mentioned have had stalling and or whatever. That was pretty scary for me.
With this video...what is that black plug piece called if i want to describe it to someone? Is that the ignition switch or something else? The black plug thing that he tightened screw(s?) on? Thank you.
And..does anyone know why did i lose ability to have acceleration while dash lights were on?
And when lights went out i was able to get gas power again?
Thank you for any help.
