    My digital dash went out on the T-type today. Fuse is still good........I guess I'll tear into it tomorrow and see if there are any loose connections..........to dark to do it now!! I sure hope it is a loose wire, its going to stink driving from Pittsburgh to Youngstown with no speedometer, or fuel guage. I guess the good news is if it is broke, I'll have a good reason to send it out to POston's or Casper's to get it set to 199. I'm tired of seeing 85 blink. :Do No:

    David,

    Had a simular problem with my '91 Beretta GT. Turned out to be a bad computer. Seems the General wired it up so that it can't be tampered with. In doing this, the circuit ran to the computer to light the dash assy. Therefore, if messed with, no more speedo or gauges (nice, huh). Long story short, if a loose connection is not found, check the computer.

    Nope, I couldn't be that lucky......Poston's just received my dash in the mail. I'm curious what they are going to find.......pretty sure its going to be the power source. Its all good because I'll get the 199 upgrade. In the meantime I'll be looking for Riv's, Park Ave's and Somersets in the junkyard. It be nice to at least get another for the next time.
