Default Help! All the Dash Lights Lit Up

I currently have the Cruise Control, ABS, etc... all warning lights are on. This has happened before. I changed a 5 amp fuse and for a brief period, they went away. This time they are staying on. Any help would be appreciated. 2007 XK coupe 30K miles.

Was a code reader plugged into the OBDII port when you started the engine? That can make your dashboard go bonkers.

A low battery can cause that, too. Before you try to start your car, turn the headlights on high beams. If it won't start, your battery is low and needs to be charged. Use a 10A charger, not a battery maintainer or trickle charger.

Thanks for the info. No to the code reader. Just recently replaced the battery.

IT'S THE BATTERY!!!
Seriously. Your "new" battery is not newly CHARGED. Put that new battery on a GOOD actual CHARGER (10+ amp) for 12-24 hours and everything will be normal.

Yup, that's what I said. The "headlight test" will prove it.

For some reason I missed your second paragraph and beyond. Sorry 'bout that.

Mine often says cruise not available if been sitting for a week or two. After driving a few miles, engine off, engine on, problem gone=battery issue. These care are more sensitive than any PC victim to battery power (lack of)
