'90 dash LED question
Hi, all. Newbie here. Bud Terry from South Jersey. My dash is acting up which I hear is a common ailment. Before I do a nearly $300 exchange with instrumentclusters.com, any tips on R&R or diagnostic info?
My dash will sometimes work fine other times it will go nuts. Sometimes flickering. Sometimes appearing to try to run a diagnostics by cycling through all the LED segments in a clockwise pattern. Sometimes appearing to try to alternate between eng/met (hitting the switch has no effect). This behavior does NOT seem to be caused by vibration, jarring, or temperature. it's totally random.
TIA...

Re: '90 dash LED question (Graybeard)
that is the 2nd gen dash. they are noted for being much more reliable then the first gen IP's.
I would think it has crashed... so to speak. It sounds like its in a self check loop of some sort.
a couple of ideas...
1) disconnect the battery for a few minutes, then try again.
2) remove the IP and make sure all connections are tight and secure.
otherwise... get a new IP...
