'88 SSE DIC display

Post by bwmiller »

My good old '88 SSE electrical display is acting funny. First the DIC went dark a year ago. Then a few months later the compas went dark. And recently the display on the radio and climate control both wen dark. I suspect everything is still working (I know the radio and climate control are) but the displays are dark. Where should I begin looking? Should I take it to a pro? Would a dealer even know where to begin with this 22-year=old baby. PS: The twilight control ceased working years ago. Could that issue be related to those I just described? The backlighting in the guage panel still works when I turn on the headlights.

The radio and climate control have bulbs in them. Have you removed the dash and checked all the bulbs behind it?
