Default Dash short out

I am in the process of purchasing a 1991 Coupe with 67k on it. Some one in CFOT said something about the dash board shorting out, but did not elaborate. Is this a common problem for the C4 and is there an inexpensive cure for it? TIA for any input....

CFOT has got you worried ?
My Atari dash still works great (fingers crossed), but the only thing I have heard about the newer clusters is an ODO error.

And the minute you said CFOT all credibility was thrown out the window...the majority of them in that forum dish on the C4 any chance the get and I'm fairly certain most posters in that forum don't even own a Corvette!

The older Atari dashboards can have small issues, but can be fixed easily if your a DIY or by a pro. The later model LCD/Analog dash. which is what is in your year, has no problems around shorts.
