I have a new 2003 PT Cruiser, and the trip odometer resets itself if the car sits for a couple of days without being driven. Any thoughts about why this is happening and how it can be corrected?
When I first started noticing this happen I took it to the dealer who replaced the instrument cluster. At first I thought the problem was fixed, but then I realized that the car simply had to sit for a longer length of time before its trip odometer reset itself. I guess if I drove the car more regularly I wouldn't have a problem. However, my job requires me to travel, so I have to leave the car in the airport parking lot for several days at a time. Anyway, I'm concerned that I may have stumped my dealer's service department as well as Chrysler's tech support desk. If I take it back to the dealer they may just want to change out the instrument cluster again. I was hoping that some clever moparphile might be able to shed some light on the problem before I take it back to my dealer.
Any help will be appreciated.
