1989 Corvette C4 Dash Cluster - HELP!
I am in need of your expertise. I have a gentleman repairing my 1989 corvette convertible electronic dash. Many issues with it. As he was finishing up, an issue came up. His email, in part reads:
"I tried sucking some solder off one of the resistor networks and its lead came right out.I never saw that happen before. *This may be the cause of the intermittent issue. *I really tried not to take out any resistor networks as they are very difficult. *But since the lead came out with just a little suction, I had no choice but to remove it. Now I have to figure out where to get one. *It is almost impossible to remove one from old boards without destroying them.
Finding a replacement will take some time, and I can't continue without it. I'll let you know what I find out. Unfortunately, the part numbers in the clusters are proprietary and I do not know the equivalent resistor network. This will take some research. *Hopefully this is the problem. It is very possible."
My question is, does anyone have the part numbers in the clusters being it is proprietary? And is there a source to obtain these parts.
Thanks in advance and my apologizes it this was asked before.
