Overhead Consol No Workie When Cold

Anyone else have problems with their overhead consol (i.e., the temp gauge, MPG etc.) not working on cold morning start ups? When the interior of the truck heats up, it kicks in. I have tried reseating the harness and even mounted a GPS unit up there (still has juice even though cosnol doesn't work). The dealer said "we haven't got a clue" and "I said I know".

I have not had a problem, but I have an 04 so maybe they worked the bugs out? Good luck, Scott

I have had the same problem occasionally. I've also noticed that when the overhead doesn't work neither does the radio/clock. But, like you said as soon as it warms up (5 minutes), they both work great! Hopefully someone will be by with a solution.
