maint light flashes 6 times then goes off.

When I turn the key to the on position without starting the engine, I noticed that the main required light blinks six times then goes off. I also noticed the my oil light , battery light and check engine light stay lit until I start the truck then everything turns off. Is this normal and what could be the reason. I have searched google for the answer but to no avail.

 

That light blinking is to.remind you its getting time to change your engine oil via your mileage you have travelled. In 1000 more miles it will come on and stay on. Check your manual for more info and how to reset it.

 

to reset, turn key to acc, press odometer trip button and hold till you see 0's across the display.

pretty sure thats it, ive only had to do it once on mine i may have left out a step

 

when it comes on you've hit 5000 miles since it was last cleared and you just hold down the odo button with the key off then turn the key on while still holding it down and wait for it to stop flashing

 

time to change the oil bro....

 

damn! posted out from under me . . . that makes sense right

 

I checked the oil and it is slightly brown, not too bad. Thanks fellas I'll do that and change the oil screw it. Its my baby.

 

Oil light, brake light and seat belt light stay on when truck is turned off. WHY?
