I had this issue last summer and worked on it a bit with the advice I received… I’m still having trouble but have a better understanding of the symptoms.
I have an ’87, automatic and the dashboard digital display is not working properly.
Symptoms:
- Headlights off – display fine
- Headlights on daytime – display fine
- Blinker & lights/high beam indicator lights – fine always
- Interior brightness control on headlight switch… does not work… only bright setting; it does not matter if the lights are on or off, no control.
- Lights on shifter always off.
- Headlights on nighttime – Digital display slowly over about 30 seconds fades off.
o I can take a flashlight and shine it into the “light” sensor on the dash and the digital display will come back on. Once I turn off the flashlight it slowly, over 30 seconds fades to off.
Any ideas? I appreciate the help.
