Why does my Trooper take 30 minutes to warm up before intermittent power surging and panel lights blinking stops?

Three lights blink intermittently: the four wheel drive icon light, the ABS system light and the battery light. Usually in three-blink increments.

Need to know more. Is it petrol or diesel. If diesel is it the 3.1 or 3.0. Isuzu changed engines that year (1998) from 3.1 to 3.0 common rail.

SOURCE: Three fuel pumps have failed in the past four

do an ohms test on wiring loom if any higher than approx 5ohms when everything is disconnected bad connection. this can still show good voltage but pump not getting enogh amps(current) so it burns out windings in pump
are old pumps open circuit?
test with ohms meter
if so check that wiring and connector pin tensions

SOURCE: 2002 ISUZU TROOPER PROCEDURES TO OPERATE THE FOUR WHEEL ENGAGING

Just press the 4wd button on the dash at any speed up to about 40mph and press again to come out .
When you turn the key on and the oil and battery lights are on the little green 4wd light should be on too if its flashing or not on check your fuses in the drivers footwell.

SOURCE: I have a 99 isuzu trooper (jackaroo) 3.5 liter 4wd

sounds like a sensor - when did it start - if just cranked up one day and bam it is there - sounds like either a brake wear indicator issue - if they are connected in those - or a fluid level change in the rear end or transfer case - look for leaks and check the brake pads or shoes

03 Taurus intermittent misfire blinking CEL no codes loss of power

If the CEL is blinking this should mean codes are set. Light may go out when intermittent problem cures itself, but code should still be stored. If not, I'm stumped.

What is wrong with my 1998 Trooper when cold it powers down, three lights blink intermitantly(ABS, Battery, & Four wheel drive), all until it is completely warmed up?

Ask at the dealer here as i have a feeling that this vehicle will have encrypted software if it was made for the europeon market ,could be a component fault in the computer which is my first suspicion ,then it could be a dirty ground or earth cable ,difficult to pinpoint with having vehicle in front of me

I have a 1997 plymouth grand voyager. Everything was working fine until my battery died. Replaced battery & now my rear window wiper lights on the dash blink constantly. The wipers work fine when I cut...

What has most likely happened is that the Heater-a/c unit needs to be recalibrated and here are the steps to do so.
With the engine running and fully warmed up, A/C has to be turned off for at least 5 minutes [don't turn it on at all] and transmission in Park do the following
1. Set the temp control all the way to cold
2. Set the mode selector to Vent so air blows out of the dash panel outlets.
3. Hold down the rear washer button and the rear wiper buttons simultaineously for about 5 seconds until most all of the heater and ac panel lights blink and then release both buttons
6. At this point the system should go into a self calibration test which can take up to 60 seconds. While it is calibrating various control panel switch lights will blink as it goes through it's tests.
7. When the system is done calibrating then just the rear wiper light should be flashing and you can exit the test by turning off the vehicle. Wait about 10 seconds and restart the engine and it should be fine. If both the rear wiper and intermittent light are both still flashing after the calibration then there is most likely a problem with the system that will need more diagnosing. I see this fairly often with battery replacements so I think you'll be ok. It sometimes takes a couple of tries to calibrate so don't give up if it doesn't work the first time. Good luck, hope this helps!

Blinking panel lights

To Calibrate , start and warm engine to normal operating temp. with engine idling turn blower switch to high, turn mode switch to panel, open all outlets, move temp lever to full cold.
press and hold rear wash and rear wiper buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds (untill all leds illuminate.) all leds should light up for 5 seconds, rear wiper and intermittent rear wiper button leds will flash alternatly during calibration... after 60 seconds if only rear wiper button led is flashing, cal. is complete
