Hello everyone.
I have a c4 Corvette 1990 and have a problem with the instrument cluster. When I turn the key on and start, the instrument panel is dark. When i turn the light on the switch, the instrument panel wakes up. What could be the reason for this?
Thanks.

I'm led to believe that the numbert 1 culprit behind these kinds of misbehaving clusters is the connector in the rear. If you go to BATEE.COM, you can arrange either for his repair service to fix it up for you, or you can buy a kit with the components to solder up a repair yourself. He's got videos on the site that show how it's done. I'll be undertaking this shortly and I've already used his kit and video to restore the Driver Information Center in my son's 1990, so I can say his kits and instructions are both quite complete and accurate.
The 90 cluster behavior is different than the 91+cluster.
It is normal to be dim/dark. Get the car into bright light and the LCD gets bright, then you put your finger over the sensor (The small hole on the Drivers info center) and it gets dim or dark, it is functioning correctly.
