Two DIC button lights are out
A couple of my DIC buttons went out last night (the top two). Can someone tell me what you have to do to get at them?

Sorry - Let me rephrase that - I'm talking about the buttons that change the function of DIC display from TRIP/GAUGES/OPTIONS/etc. - not the DIC itself. These buttons are aligned vertically on the right hand side of the dash. The top two no longer light up so I guess a bulb is out back there. I didn't know if maybe the butons popped off or if you had to pull the dash to get to them.

sounds like a light is burned out, its a 2 dollar fix but it takes 2 hours to get to that light. many posts on how to repair the lights, i think spdkilz has a good website on that, he changed all the lights out for blue leds and it looks awesome.

Have to pull apart my dash to replace my Hazard / Turn Signal relay. Looks like I'll be

This will help you get the cluster out. I haven't had to change a bulb but I'm sure it is not hard to figure out once you have the cluster out.
