Dash went out
I was driving to work today and my dash went out. I'm hoping it's a fuse. Does anyone know what fuse it is? I pulled a few and they were good, I just don't want to have to pull them all. With my luck, it'll be the last one I'll pull. Thanks ahead of time, Chris (Robertriley)

Re: Dash went out (AshleyRL-87Conv)
Tell me what exactly happened. If it is just a fuse, you can look in your fuse box which is located on the dash just inside the passenger door. The fuses are clearly marked. The power for the lights is fused. But if the digital readout functions are dead, it is another thing.
The instrument cluster power feed is the second from the top right and is marked as "cluster".Also check the LCD fuse which is the one all the way on the left of the third row from the bottom or the third row from the top whichever way you look at it.
IF that does not fix it, let us know and we will tell you what to do for the next step.

Re: Dash went out (Sharky Guam)
did the lights go out (you can still see the numbers but barely) or did it go completely out?

Re: Dash went out (JonM)
youll have to remove the unit and either send it for repair ($$$$$) or disassemble and resolder all the little connections

Re: Dash went out (vader86)
just an FYI, my dash does this ever since we took it apart to change the bulbs. It doesn't connect at the contacts well so if I press gently (DON'T hit) directly above the column, about where the turn signal lights are, it comes back on. I call it the G spot :eek: :lol:

Re: Dash went out (thrills)
Actually, if everything went out, it must be a power problem. Check the connector first. If not, you will have to disassemble and check the connections and solder joints. It is a handfull. But if you ant to try it, you might get lucky. Follow the link above in another post. Good Luck! More than likely, it is something simple. I forgot to add that it could also be a bad ground. Check your ground wires between the battery, chassis and engine. The ground strap on the left side just behind the valve cover is often the culprit. Remove, sand and reinstall it.

Re: Dash went out (Mojo)
OK, when I turn on the car, I can see that everything comes on. It's not lit up, but it goes from black to bearly seeing everything. So, I can bearly see everything during the but, nothing changes, moves goes up or down.
