Hud
My HUD works as far as moving up and down. I noticed on the highway with the reflection and then pushed the button to move it up and down and it moved fine. I can’t get it to illuminate. Any ideas.

You are saying the mirror moves but there is no display on the windshield?
If you do a search on here, either in one of my threads or in someone else's, there's a YouTube video of a bypass to the photoresistor that controls the day-night illumination of the display. Sometimes doing that little soldering trick will get the display to light up again if the display is truly dark. In my case it had no effect and I replaced mine with a used one I found on the auction site and then all was well again.
Be prepared to take the whole dash apart to remove the HUD unit, a few hours work the first time, directions are on this site. Or just leave it as is and have no HUD.
You do have the dimmer switch for the HUD display turned up, right?
You are not wearing Polaroid sunglasses which will make the display unreadable?
Good luck.
