What a great forum. I posted a problem with my dim display and got
answers you would expect to find in the Service manual. Disassembling
to get the AC display out was just under an hour with no problems. It
was clear that one of the resistors was loose and needed soldering.
Instead of seven, there were eight, which indicates my 2000 had the
2001 board in it. No better than the previous board I think. I
touched up all the solder joints as recommended and reinstalled the
display - you can check it out before you close it up.. Nice and
bright. Reassembled in about 45 minutes and the car is good to go.
Thanks again especially Dad who referred me to the repair
procedure.
