If I come up to Carlisle, I will bring my old cluster with me. Its fully assembled, and I'm willing to give it to someone like you, Bill, for the greater good of the forum, and home mechanics everywhere! 
If I don't make it to Carlisle, and you only want the malfunctioning IPC board, I will pull the board and mail it to you. The board is only 8" x 4" or so, which is not a large box to be mailing. The board is the part that seems to fail most often anyways. The switches are such a simple sealed system, if they fail, its usually because the push button is stuck or broken "in". The two daughter boards have nothing on them, really, so I think the failures on those would be minimum.

kluden... Thanks for replying! I did pretty much as you suggested... I bought a used IPC w/HUD (mine has it, too) on eBay from a car with about 57,000 miles on it. Mine has about 58,500 miles - CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME!! haha... I'll let you know if I was as lucky to fire it up this time and PROBLEM SOLVED!!
Thanks, guys! You guys make me glad I found this place! As I was told when I first got my C5 and had my 1st electrical problem: If you LIKE to TINKER - the C5 is for YOU!! I "DON'T" - but I'm glad to know where to turn when I "HAVE TO"!! LOL

I was at Bloomington also. I was asked to be a guest speaker at one of the Cubic Knowledge seminars. I hung out at the Corvette Central Tent for most of the show.
Thank you very much for the offer. We will have to meet up. I will be in the FUN FIELD. Just look for the 2011 Inferno Orange Grand Sport Convertible from CT.

HEY! BILL!! It appears as though I have solved the mystery of the Scrolling DIC Info!! I fired the car up after putting the used eBay IPC Gauge Cluster in and everything worked like it was supposed to - SO FAR!! I will be able to tell you for sure in an hour or so because I just finished putting everything all back together and I'm going to run it down to the hand wash and have them clean it up inside and out... (Stick a fork in me - I'm done playing Mr. Goodwrench for this week!! haha...)
