pwmin Posted November 24, 2018 Report Posted November 24, 2018 The DIC is lights out on the new 98 GS. I tried to replace the cluster with one from a donor car and that works, but the center display for mileage, etc. doesn't work. Nothing on the board looks burnt. It looks like a huge PIA to swap DIC's. What I want to know is it even possible? Any tips? thanks Quote
pwmin Posted November 28, 2018 Author Report Posted November 28, 2018 Well, I thought replacing the resistors last night worked, but no display again this morning. Lovely! Quote
Imp558 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 I wonder if the class II data wire is effed up. Do the coolant and oil gauges have any trouble? Quote
pwmin Posted November 29, 2018 Author Report Posted November 29, 2018 Just the DIC, nothing else. I took it apart again and the one solder joint had popped off. The board needed cleaned up a little better and I suck at soldering so I had my friend help me and it's working now. Didn't help that I wasn't exactly sober, either. It was dim when I did it, too, but it's nice and bright now. Quote
