Default DIC key illumination

Could someone verify that when the IP lighting is active (i.e. parking lights on) *all* of the DIC keys (“1 FUEL” through “RESET”) on the right side of the IP are illuminated?

TIA

They should all be on whenever the parking lights are on. If one or more is out, you get to buy a DIC Controller assembly or replace the lamps in it. Contact forum member TStar for assistance on it.

Thanks! The "5 E/M" and "RESET" aren't lighting up after I swapped in a HUD-enabled main board. I guess I’ll have to take out the cluster again and double-check that everything works properly with my original main board. Maybe I’ll get lucky and it’s just a loose connector.
