Default My message display on the instrument panel...

went blank yesterday. It still displays the disclaimer about depressing the brake pedal, but once I put in gear, the display goes blank. Where it indicates that your gas tank is empty, that works, but everything under it is blank. Any ideas? Also, I had my timing belt done at 80,000 miles. I am now at 130,000 miles, when should I have the timing belt done again? TIA.

Default Lesson to all....do a search first

before asking a stupid question. Thanks anyway paul for even answering. I must have accidentally pressed the button on the wiper stalk. Just went out and turned it on. DUH!!
How about the timing belt question?
