Yeh I'm going to take it all apart this wkend and take a look, but I don't know if its a lose connection or what. What do you mean the whole board, .....can you send me a link to the part you're talking about and where to buy one? How much did it run you? How do you re-set the mileage??? Can you do that on your own or do you need the dealership to do that???? THANK YOU!!!

Ok...so now what?

Hi Guys, FINALLY had some time last wkend to take apart the vette and pull out the IPC to check the connections/wiring etc....and couldn't find any loose wires...I checked to see if anything needed re-solder (sp?) on the main board and I'm not an 'electrical engineer' but I couldn't see anything that I THOUGHT might needed to be fixed, the only thing I noticed was...cha-ching...maby?----the screen that produces the read out looks fried/burnt on one side? I took a pic of the other side of the screen so you can see the differance. I'm wondering if that is indeed the problem? or is that how its 'supposed' to look....AS I was also having problems with my AC Unit screen being 'dim' and when I took that apart (out of curiousity) the screen looked similar with that burnt look...

So do any of you guys know if the screen is the issue? (Again my problem was that: All the buttons work, they 'beep' when pushed, but there is no read up on the 'odometer' screen for or any activity there at all)

Please let me know your thoughts, and also if it is INDEED the screen, do I need to buy a whole new main board, new cluster, or can I just buy a new screen and rebuild the board?

Thanks! -CJ

im having the same problem with my dic. When I first crank up the car, it is illuminated just fine and after a few minutes it starts to dim to the point you can barely see it at all. Is it possible to just replace it or does anybody have a fix for this?
