Default My car just not like the cold???

hola! im a little confused on what my car has been doing lately...the last three times i have started the car in the morning when it has been kinda cold out (about 55F) i warm up the car, then about a mile later down the road all my dash lights come on...like e brake, seat belt, traction control, ect...kinda scares me because i can take my seat belt off and re connect it it wont turn the light off. and also when i pull the e brake up and back down that light stays on too..so basically no dash lights will turn off if i try to. but once i turn my car off and on again, they all are off for the rest of the day...help?

In..

Sounds like a trip to the dealer is in your future.

My guess is it has nothing to do with the cold.

^ what he said...

There's probably a wire grounding out somewhere in your car thats confusing the ECU into throwing all kinda of instrument cluster lights. This is more likely caused by hitting bumps/turbulence inside your car rather than the cold weather.

Well, I am in MN and let me tell you the car doesn't like cold weather much...but, regardless, that is not the source of your electrical problems.
