does it do this when you switch the ignition on without starting the engine?

run a error check and see if it comes up with any codes

toy get your key then:

turn to acc
turn off
turn to acc
turn off
turn to acc

and im pretty sure the third time just leave the key in acc and look at your odometer and it will come up with a code if somethings wrong and then say done

iif it just says done then it might not be anything

mine used to flash 10 times and then stay on when i had a error

is the light staying on after 10 flashes or going away?


EDIT: oh eah and if you get a code just do a search on google and yo will find out what the problem is, might be able to fix it yourself!

some models wont do it from the key igntition sequence, mines a 2000 model and doesnt do it. you can also hold the odometer reset button and turn the ignition to start and it should run through a scan of the systems, you will see all the dash lights and tacho and speedo needles flying around if it works.

turn the key on,(not started) and it flashes, on the tenth it stays on, then when the engine is started the light goes out...

I think it is just reminding you the ignition is on and the engine isn't running
