2010 Chevy HHR instrument cluster doesn't work when cold. Okay when warm.

Asked by GuruDD4PXV Sep 13, 2023 at 12:11 PM about the 2010 Chevrolet HHR LS FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Instrument cluster is "dead" when cool weather. Works okay when warm. Also needed to reprogram key twice in a month & radio amp is intermittent. All other electronics work fine. Could this be an ignition switch issue?

A weak car battery can cause untold electrical problems, and cold weather will exacerbate battery and electrical flow troubles. Some things work incorrectly and some not at all. As you seem to be experiencing inhibited current flow, check the battery and if it's questionable at all, replace with the strongest battery you can find, and that will be an AGM, glass mat battery.
