In Reply to: Instrument cluster module display posted by jk on December 02, 2001 at 21:04:51:

In my '99, the function displayed when I shut the car off comes up again when I start the car (never get the blank screen). I usually use the time function as my default.

Did the dealer replace the entire instrument cluster? I have the same problem with my car, and am awaiting a new cluster which the dealer ordered last week. How long did it take the dealer to do the work?

Had the dealer replace under warranty on my 98 iL the instrument display module because I was having the floating missing pixel problem. When I press the turn signal arm to invoke the display, I am able to cycle thru all of the functions. However, when I turn off the engine and then turn it back on, the function that was last displayed comes up again automatically. Before the module was replaced, whenever the engine was turned off and then on again, the display automatically displayed a blank screen.

Which is the proper setting upon start up, and are the settings programmable as to what appears at startup (ie, the last function displayed prior to engine shut off)?

Thanks for all your help. Happy holidays.

jk
