DIMMED DIGITAL DASH HELP?

Posted By: lionstring On: 08-18-2009 @ 07:52:26         Reply | Edit
Hi All!
I have an '87 Trans Am GTA with the digital dash and the odometer display has dimmed right down. All other displays are working fine (the tach, the speedo, the gauges and the control center) but the odometer display is not. I can see it but it is very dim... is this an easy fix?? (Like maybe replacing a light bulb...)
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

My friend Bethany has the first digi dash Ive ever messed with. While working on it we blew the courtesy lights fuse which killed her speedo and odometer

Since yours works, its just dim Id say some fuse or bad ground is not the culprit

Likely one of the illuminating lights/LEDs burned out (it happens) and needs to be replaced

Im unsure which a digi dash uses as we never dug that far into it, but normal dashes use lights which are simple to replace. LEDs will require soldering if you can even open up the panel

ive owned 3 gta s with the digital dash, never had problems. check the plug on the back. maybe a bad, weak, connection.
