Question... Weird issue
Hey guys... ran into an odd issue on a trip this weekend. my 91 had its AC compressor go out, it started making noise and the belt went. Got that all fixed up. As this happened, the climate control center lost power, it does not work anymore. Also at the same time, the gas gauge doesnt seem accurate, it didnt move for 200 miles, and all the features like trip ODO etc, none of those buttons do anything now. Where it says how many miles left on my tank, it blinks "SYS" instead of the number every minute or so.
Any idea what happened or what to check to make that work again? Going to suck not having a gas gauge.
