04 Cav DASH VERY HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday, February 27, 2005 11:13 PM
Hey guys, Im curious to know if any of you had problems with your DASH heating up super hot that it turns the Cyrstals in ur millage read out red??? I swear my dash had to be about 200+ Degrees, I found out that my left air vent wasnt putting out any flow of air and im woundering if that has any thing to do with it, it goes to the dealership tomarrow for a check out just woundering if u guys had any problems like this??

I have seen where the foam on the mode door in the hvac air box becomes dettached and lodges in the air duct blocking air flow out the dash vents.

If it is turning red hot like that then it is most likely an elictrical short. You may have a fire back there. Your HVAC can't really be heating things up to 200 degrees.

Well I dont know if it was 200 but i swear it felt like it. But I will have to go with zsquee24 on this one, because of the fact that my left air vent isnt blowing out much at all even with all other vents shut closed.. They shop agrees and they are gonna take a look at it in the AM, ill keep u posted though

I'm willing to bet that if it was 200 degrees the dash would start melting and warping. Taking the dash pad off will reveal the cause for sure.

Mine does this after very long periods of being on (road trips). It just starts to turn red in the middle until the whole lcd is red. Cluster gets very warm, but it takes like 5-6 hours of night driving before that happens...
