What causes the dashboard to light up but lose power when starting the engine?
1 Answers
The reason why the dashboard lights up but loses power when starting the engine is due to insufficient battery charge. More information about the battery is as follows: 1. When the ignition switch is turned on, the dashboard lights up, but at the moment of starting, the high starting voltage causes the dashboard to flicker or go dark, resembling a power loss, if the battery charge is insufficient. 2. If the battery is dead, you can jump-start it. If conditions do not permit, you can call your insurance company or a rescue service. Having a portable jump starter on hand can also quickly solve the problem. 3. The lifespan of a car battery is generally around 2 to 3 years, and its longevity is directly related to driving conditions, road conditions, and the driver's habits.
