Hi, Be careful with the Chilton manual as It does reference the spark timing connector, I fell for this and the vette ran like a bucket of bolts :mad

Tried today to just replace the LCD screen with no luck, Found the dash to be an 89 model, rouge digits would appear as the RPM increased, it was worth a try, I will now need to import :-(

Thanks for the advise. Rebuilt units is not really an option as I live on the other side of the world and the exchange rate and shiiping cost makes it very costly. As i have obtained 87 dash I have found that the loom plugs come out the side where the 85 comes out the back. I may try just...

Does anyone know if an 87 LCD cluster will replace an 85 version, any known problems, I have found the one to four light stays on and the RPM drops to a single digit below 1000 RPM. Is this normal with this year of LCD or could just the RPM lcd be fitted to my 85 dash as mine is cracked. Cheers :D

My wire has disappered, I have checked all around the rear of the engine bay as per all information sourced, I can find where the 4 way connector leaves the distributor and enters the wiring harness and thats it. Did they hide it any where else on an 85 vette. Cheers

You are correct, we do drive on the left side, my mistake. Wiki states originally most traffic drove on the left worldwide today about 66% of the world's people live in right-hand traffic countries and 34% in left-hand traffic countries. About 72% of the world's total road distance carries...

Time for a curve ball. Whats a RHD 1985 vette worth in the states. It might be worth exporting if your allowed to drive it.

It's because we drive on the RIGHT side of the road, not the wrong side (Left) ;LOL. All left hand cars imported into New Zealand, that are under 20 years had to be convirted to RHD. They say the C4 is the hardest to do.

Hi everyone Does anyone know what the colors on the heater A/C switch reference too on a 1985 vette. I need to trace the heater water flow valve as I have no vacuum at this point. The colors I have are: Red= ? Brown= ? Pink= Windscreen Vent 1 Blue= Windscreen Vent 1 Orange= Max Air Con Vent...

I thought about the IGN. Switch, but this issue would occur without starting the engine. The buzzing sound may be related to a relay with a bad coil. Without starting the engine the system is on battery voltage only, with the engine started the alternator is running allowing for a increase of...

Hi, Yes the cluster was removed and cleaned out, The problem occured before and after cluster removal. The problem is when you turn the key to IGN the dash LCD's light up as per normal. Turn the key to off and the dash LCD's turn off (All as per normal). When you turn the key to IGN and start...

Thank's for the big welcome :thumb I have searched for answers, and my problem appears to have not been asked before. This will get pepole thinking about an answer to resolve my problem.

Hi, I am finding that when I turn the key off without starting the engine, The LCD cluster goes blank (off). When the engine has been running and I turn the key off the LCD cluster starts buzzing and the LCD's fainty flicker for about 2 seconds. Any idea what may be causing this issue. Cheers;shrug
