Default 1997 Camaro digital odometer not working

I bought a 1997 roller with no engine harness and pcm. With the battery in and key on everything works with exception of the digital odometer. It is lit up from from the bulb, just no display from the lcd. So far I’ve checked all fuses which checked out ok.

So does anyone know what signals the lcd to display? Is it in the harness and pcm? I’ve actually tried it with a ‘94 harness and pcm to no avail.

Thanks for any help.
Travis

Does the radio work? I know you said you checked the fuses, but it seems like I've run into that same problem when the radio fuse has popped. If not the fuse, then it could be the wiring. They must share a common power wire.

I believe odometer is backlit. IDK if bulb is serviced. You could take cluster apart.

It has an aftermarket pioneer radio installed. The radio does work though and the radio fuse is good.

I’ve had it apart and replaced the bulb. The bulb is fine and lights up the odometer, just no lcd display.
