J Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 it's fubared! sorry no clue here, just bumping your post with a smart ass comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I sure hope not...This might be it: One important thing I must let you know is to be SURE to ground the ground wires between the HUD unit ("A2") and the HUD Dimmer swtich ("D") to a good ground on the car!. Currently I only have that wired such that its just a wire between the dimmer switch and the HUD itself...not to a ground on the car.

GnatGoSplat Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Was your car prewired? If so, look inside the HUD to see if its display is lit. Maybe the position is just set to where nothing shows up on the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 No, the car was not prewired...I will look but I know the position switch is hooked up and working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94CutlassSLCoupe Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 well...i still do...my speed is not showing up...it just reads 0mph all the time and I have continuity between my guage cluster and the pin on the HUD. Its also not real bright when running but is with the key in Accessory (must be the power wire I am using) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 ok...it was the wrong green wire...didn't try it but that is probably why the trip functions in the DIS also do not work...the wierd thing is the AVG speed does lol Anyways...still not bright enough so anyone have a better place to get power from???

Crimson Fury Z Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 my hud's power wire runs into the fuse cluster in the glovebox, in the middle, i think its the fse on the right hand side. its suspossed to shut hud off when the car is turned off.

GP1138 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 You're sure you cleaned it real good? I know if these things are dusty they'll look like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Yes. You've got to put some ass into cleaning those things. Mine was beyond dim, and i took it apart and 13 years of dust and grime were caked onto it. Be sure to clean both mirrors and the HUD image display.
