87xtCoupe Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 i just bought a 87 xt turbo after cranking it to try to get it to start the digi dash didnt light up and more but in the sun light you can see it working.

john in KY Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Each of the "wings" behind the steering wheel with all the controls have a sliding switch on the bottom. The right switch is for the wiper speed and the left adjusts the instrument panel illumination levels. I'd suspect the problem lies here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 Star Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 take them apart and check the wiring? No... Hes saying that the dash has a knob that adjusts the light level on it. (dimmer,brighter). Check there first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 It sounds to me that there is a problem with the power supply to the display. If that is the case you may need to replace the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
