Started Ex yesterday morn for a couple minutes then all of a sudden radio went dead along with fuel gauge and digital odometer. I shut down then re-fired and all worked again. Thoughts?
Thanks

I had a similar thing happen to me a few weeks ago. I started the Ex, my fuel gauge went to empty and fuel light came on. I like you re-started but no change in my case ( did 3 restarts ). I thought something was stuck so headed out to the gas station figured even though I had about 3/4 tank I would top it off to see if that would change anything. After 2 blocks of driving it just came back on and have not been able to duplicate since.
Took the EX to the dealer last week and they don't have a clue.

Mine's a gasser, so I only have one battery, but it turns out my battery was weak. I saw the exact same thing, except it was immediately on start up. I knew I had a full tank, and it read empty, with low fuel light. I've been having radio issues anyways, so I didn't think they were related right away. I thought perhaps I'd been victimized, as I don't have a locking cap. (Note to self; 44 gallons is pretty tempting, LOL!) Swapped for a new battery and problem disappeared. Good luck!
