Is TSTAR still doing dash lighting repairs
I couldn't find any recent threads?
Thanks if you can help. my HVAC is dimmed out.
If he is done, is there any other repair guy? I have the control module out & it sucks to not be able to turn on my A/C!

I sent my HVAC to http://www.davescorvetteilluminations.com/ and had it back in less than a week. Dave even called me to let me know he received it. I sent it on Wednesday and he called on Friday to say it was fixed and he was sending it out the next day. The LED's look great.
Just a note of caution when moving or removing the console to disconnect the fuel door connector or you will pull it out and damage the connector and or damage the pins in the switch. It is located on the side of the console near the Ebrake handle. I used a zip tie to keep the connector holding pin into the slot and needle nosed pliers to straighten out the pins but it was a b**ch to get the fuel door switch out of the console which you have to completely remove to get the switch out.

Good to have another source for the repair.

I should have thought of that. Just 2 wires to lengthen. It would be a lot easier next time I have to remove it.
