Ok thanks. Does that green board control the DIC too? That's the problem I'm having right now. If not, i'll just buy a cluster on the auction site and transfer that board on my old cluster to the new one. Also does that chip come out or can I just swap boards?

And you swapped the main mother board NOT the smaller board correct?

Last weekend I tried swapping out the small board and it did not change the mileage, I think you need to swap the mother board and on the 97,98 and early 99s the mother board will not have the HUD connection

I did a quick write up and pictures to show how to remove the DIC circuit board, which also is the odometer. I did this procedure when I added HUD and a Z06 cluster to my '99 FRC. That way I kept my '99 171k odometer in the Z06 cluster, and left the 8k mile odometer to sit in my attic...

Vet.mix and I have a 1998. So Anybody prior too 1999 cant just change out the board because we have non hud circuitry. So Go to a tech 2 person, and pay the few hundred bucks... I wish it was that little circuit board on the left, but oh well.

If your DIC has stopped working, it is the small green circuit board in the last of the above pictures (lower left corner).. This also stores your mileage information.
If you replace this circuit board, whatever mileage is in the replacement board is what your DIC will now display.
