Default Dash Cluster

I just purchased an 86. The scale on the speedo is solid orange all the time and the digital readout is poor at best. The rest of the cluster seems to work pretty good. Does this mean the LCD is bad?

you may have burned out bulbs,and its not that hard to replace them.its best to replace all 4 and see what happens seeing the colors with the ignition off is a sign of sun fading and may require replacent with new or refurbished lcd panels. CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase,we wud love to see pics of your new vette.and welcome to the forum!!!!

Hi Todd,
I've been looking on e-bay and it looks like I can probably get one for $250.00 or so. I think I might even try to do the fix I've seen posted on betee.com befor that.
Pete

Day after day...same question same answer

Batee.com is the most comprehensive DIY source out there.

You can fix your cluster for less than $50 and that includes getting all new bulbs.

I tried the batee fix today but it didn't work. If I had to guess, it looks like a bad LCD.
