Dashboard Computer Screen Blinks
On our way back to Ohio from Indiana, I noticed that when I turn my wipers on or off, the back light for the computer screen blinks. Does everyone else have this same issue ?
I guess it's not a big deal. I'm just curious.
Thanks.

On my 19 Cornerstone, turning on the wipers lights up all the dash and cup lights. I have no idea if this is something that is factory designed, or some oddity that occurs. It makes no sense to me, but it has not caused a problem yet. Notice if all your dash lights come on when then wipers start. Now, mine stay on the whole time the wipers are running during the daytime. No opportunity to observe this whole thing at night as I have not had a long evening drive in the rain.... hope it doesn't do the opposite (turn the dash lights off in the rain at night).

That certainly is odd.
I haven't noticed dash board lights coming on. Just a quick blink of the computer screen above the analog speedometer.
I will definitely pay closer attention to other lights next time out.
Thanks.

Could it be a safety feature? Do the headlights come on as well?

Most if not all states require headlights to be on when raining. Most vehicle manufacturers have incorporated that into newer vehicles. (For the lights to come on automatically when wipers are turned on.)

My '02 DSDP and present '09 CC do that.

Gary, this may be the headlights turning on. Some states, FL is one of them, the headlights have to be on when the wipers are on. The DW's MKX does this and I think my Colorado does too. I think the newer vehicles are complying with some of the state laws.
I see after I posted, Steve said the same thing.

Well, I'll be damned.... that just might be the reason..... Wow, again, learned something new. Love it !!!
I never would have noticed it unless I saw the illuminated (Red) cup holders illuminate..... Dee said, "Why are the cup holders illuminated?" and I had no answers. Then I noted the same thing every time the wipers were running. High Tech !!
Next time, I will dash outside to see if everything is lit up. --

My Coach has the same feature. I turned the wipers on and the dash converts to night with the headlight switch still off. Took me a while to realize the headlights are turning on when I turn on the wipers. To turn them off I have to turn the headlights on and then back off.

I'll try that on my classic - have never noticed it - probably was not a feature on my year. My Jeep lights turn on with the wipers.
