2006 Wait to Start Light
Hey guys, been lurking here a couple of weeks, but this is my first post.
I just picked up my 2006. I noticed the "Wait to Start" light does not light up with the rest of the instrument light when I first turn the key to the on position. It has not been cool enough for the heater to cycle, but I was wondering if this was normal, or should the light be cycling with the rest of the dash lights. I was wondering if this was changed for 06, or do I need to take my truck in?
Thanks in advance!

On my '03 Dodge, the "wait to start" light came on every time I started the truck. I also recently upgraded to the '06 and have noticed the "wait to start" light does not always come on. Usually in the mornings, the light will come on for a few seconds. For the rest of the day however, the light does not come on at all. I've taken this to mean everything is alright, and it only comes on when needed. I could be wrong, but I believe it's working fine.

Fill in your signiture and location, that'd help.
Here in California it hasn't been cold enough for the light to come on in the afternoon 85 but it does in the morning 60.

Sorry, I thought I included a signature. And no, I have not seen it come on at all. Location is Central Texas--It has not been cool enough for the heater to actually cycle.

That must be a change for the 06 model year. My 04.5 truck's "wait to start" light comes on every time........cold, hot, whatever. Course it goes off fairly quickly when warm....and cycles much longer if it is cool or cold.

Speaking of, how's that new megacab?
