Default c-5 HUD

hi all, I just picked up another vette...that makes 4...a 80..84..88..now a 04...
on the o4 the hUD is not working and in the car booklet on the fuse block it does not show a fuse for the hud...any suggestions as to what to do next?

thanks

It's likely the mirror has just fallen in the unit. That is the most common failure.
Not a particularly easy fix though.

Are you sure you have the projector adjusted correctly to where it shows a display on the windshield? Try adjusting the buttons to the left of the gauge cluster - there will be one that says page and one that has two arrows for the up/down adjustment.

Since your buddy has one, ask him to check yours out, it could be as simple as having the intensity turned down or off.

I have a similar issue but I can hear the up-down motor running. My A4 shifter light isn't getting power either. I'm assuming it is something on the back of the instrument cluster.

Would the dimmer effect only those two components?

If so it seems logical.
