i just purchased a 84 vette and the LCD speedometer and rpm guage is not showing up anymore, the module that controlled that was just replaced and i think its shorting because it occasionally flickers onn and off, where is that module located?

Better help can be provided with more info in the title of your post. Using 'question' as a lead-in is likely to garner few responses whereas using 'LCD Inquiry, '84' will gather much more response.

Go to E-Bay and punch in 1984 Corvette. You will see complete units on there for sale for close to nothing. Easier to replace the entire unit than to find the problem and fix it.

Hey the hudge this is the hudge. The mechanic who shall here by be known as Magnus said to bring the car by and he will see if there are any loose connections. Hippie Jay said the speed-o-meter is under 100% warranty. Magnus, (the strongest mechanic in the world) will be able to let you know if it needs to be exchanged or not. They are open Friday till 17 and Saturday till 14.
I'v got bugs in both my new cars (not the crawling kind) but I dig the LX, I'm thinking of getting my hair feathered.

If you take advantage of the Advanced Search feature on this site you will find many references to this issue. Not uncommon for a 25 year old Corvette. Good luck.
