WHOLE dashboard blinking- nothing working

Hi

I have a 2011 Honda Civic EX (Automatic transmission) I purchased it in Nov/2010. It has about 6000 miles on it.

I went to drive my car this morning and when I put the key in the ignition the whole dashboard started blinking. My fuel gauge is blinking orange and shows that the cart has no gas ( it does). The speedometer does not work. Nothing in the dash is working and the ABS and brake lights appeared in red.

AAA came out and said that it was electical. The alarm, radio, windows all work. The dashboard just blinks.

I am taking to the dealer tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone had any idea what was going on.

Thanks

Happened to my Chevy Van. Check your battery connection.

Re: WHOLE dashboard blinking- nothing working

I also have a 2011 Honda Civic EX (Automatic transmission), when I put the key in the ignition the whole dashboard started blinking. My fuel gauge is blinking orange and shows that the cart has no gas ( it does). The speedometer does not work. Nothing in the dash is working and the ABS and brake lights appeared in red. The head lights comes on but if I have the radio on the bright beam will not come on when the control lever is push forward. If I have the radio off and turn on the light the bright beam will work when lever is push forward. Does anyone know how to fix this on your own?

Re: WHOLE dashboard blinking- nothing working

low electrical power causes havok in electronics.
stop at any auto parts store and have them test your battery and alternator
