There are EIGHT pins on the HUD connector. Pin 8 is ground and pin 7 is Ignition voltage. Pin 5 is a clock signal, pin 3 is a Strobe signal. Pin 1 is the display down, pin 2 is display up, pin 4 is Data and pin 6 is dimmer signal
What does your Display do when you plug it in?
If it were me,, I would meter probe the IPC connector and see if your are getting power from the IPC (pins 7 & 8
If you have power, disassemble the HUD and make sure that the internal connectors and circuit boards are properly connected and the board is not damaged..
Pretty easy checks.

have power and ground pins 7&8, mirror moves. but no light up of display. i sort of thought aer tech. would have told me unit was ok, when they put it on the bench to test, but they claimed broken board, charged $$$ for repair and shipped it back???
