The led numbers for my odometer and trip display won't light up. Is this just a blown fuse?

 

Bump.

 

is it digital?

 

Yes^^

 

It's gone. U need to replace that little peace. They are LCD display.

 

Can you list what the car is or put it in a sig? You might get more responses...

 

At night time i can faintly see the numbers that's why I'm confused. But it has to be pitch black in order to barely see them but they still change numbers the more miles I put on the clock. Anybody know of a part number for it?

 

For 93-99 cars, there's thirteen different possible instrument clusters. There's about five more for export cars. 00-92 cars have a few more. None of these have a piece that can be replaced.

So, what year is your Firebird? V6? Trans-Am?

These people will fix it for you. They do all the work for GM dealerships: http://www.modelelectronics.com/index.asp

 

97 v6 firebird. It says you have to have a login name and password to view that link

 

HMMM, it works for me and I'm in the dark ages with IE 6. Trying to help ya here so I've put a screen shot of it on my photobucket. There are few who can repair these clusters, gone are the days of spinning magnets in cups attached to a speedo cable. Good luck!

 

Yeah that screen shows up. But when I click "GM" is when I have to have a login username

 

Yes, that's normal. You and I are not a wholesale dealership with an account.

Give them a call and they'll walk you through the process. You'll send them your cluster, they'll fix it and send it back.

 

Man, I was hoping this would be an easy fix lol

 

I had the same thing on my '98 TA. Ran like that for a couple of years, installed some really low springs, bottomed out one day and voila, it lit up! My radio display was out as well and it came back too. Unfortunately they both went dark again soon after. I would get a glimpse every once and a while, and when the sun was just right I could read the odometer. I never found out how to fix it though. The most common thought was a bad ground somewhere, people said it could even be as far away as the tail lights since F-Body electrical systems are sketchy. Good luck with it, and please post your progress on a fix as I'd like to help the guy who bought my car with a fix.

 

Yeah I can faintly see it when the sun hits it just right or when it's night time and I have my lights on...But then again it's very faint, but enough to read it. It's just a pain in the *** when I have to change my oil and stuff. Maybe I'll try hitting some big bumps and see what happens haha
