Default information screen

I just purchased an 87 vette and in the information screen there was a Corvette logo that went across the entire screen. My fan blower wasn't working and I was testing some of the fan wires as described in my manual and when I got back in the car and started it up the logo was gone. I actually thought it was it was a permanent part of the screen but it must have been in the lcd. Any thoughts?

I bought a "CORVETTE" plate to cover my DIC; could yours have had a cover plate that fell off??

I don't see it anywhere. Could it have been programmed into the LCD somehow?

The various accessory catalogs carried a press-in tinted cover with "CORVETTE" on it. The cover had a cloth strip around the outer edge and it acted like a seal.

There was no GM-created logo on the OEM DIC window at any time during the 84-90 production run.

Sounds like the cover you have (had ) may have fallen down and slipped under a seat.

I found it between seat and console, I guess I'm not going crazy
