Gauge Cluster Issue
Took the Vette out fro a quick drive this afternoon. About 10 min into the ride I pressed the fuel button and all my gauges went dead and the DIC just showed AAAAAAAAA. I pulled over turned the car off and then started it back up and within seconds it was back to doing this. I was able to drive home where i proceeded to disconnect the battery. When I reconnected the battery the display was back to normal with all gauges working... I hope it was just a glitch or a loose ground, just curious is anybody else has seen this .

I noticed you or someone else put in trim rings in the IPC. When was this done? Very possible a connector between the IPC and DIC buttons is loose or a terminal pin.
If it were an overall power issue or ground you would see other issues also.
May also be your DIC display is on the out. Time will tell.
