Typical problem with this style of dash. You can send it in and pay several hundred dollars $400to $500 or more. OR you can fix it yourself

I have an 84 and have an opinion
For almost the same money, I would go with an 85-88. Those have the tuned port injection. Parts are more available, you can add 50 to 100 hp with $500 and a screwdriver.
The issues I have had with the 84 are with getting parts.
The one listed in the...
Not sure how long you have had the Vette
However it is common practice to put a bypass switch under dash (Or other places) so that you control the antenna up and down. That way it decreases wear on that motor. Maybe someone wired wrong?
In addition, I had my BOSE serviced. I had a cracked...
Due to each speaker having its own amplifier. The head unit must be the common problem. I would bet there is a loose connection within. The soder within is a continual problem.
Start there.
Not sure if I understand
You say it "Lights Up"
What lights up when ignition is on? Can you read any of the LCD's
Are your blinker lights on bright? (The indicator Lights)
Does the unit come on and off driving?
I believe it is a ground problem
If you have not done this yet, you will have to...

There is alternative solutions, such as grounding a sensor that is in the footwell.
If you hit the above link, you may think this is a difficult...
Couple of questions
1. When the display goes off, does the turn signals (Both) go bright?
2. Does the odometer stop working when the dash is off (May be hard to tell)
3. Can you still see the displays working, just no back light?
4. Has there been any modification to this display that you...
Fixed the problem
It was the starter. After spending some time on the forum, lots of people referred to similar problems as "Heat Soak" on the starter.
Like others, the symptoms were worse the warmer outside it got.
I have only driven a couple of days, and it has been cooler. However...
Update on where I am at
May have left out key detail. I have replaced the factory radio with a pioneer head unit and 2 kenwood excellon (SP) amps. While I do not run the system hard, it does draw power. I disconnected this setup for trial. No incidents so far (However only driven once)
I...
Bought my Vette 2 years ago. It is an 84 with 47k
When I got it, the alternator (Regulator) was bad. It was charging up to 16-19 volts. So I replaced it.
Recently when I drive the vette, after driving around town it will not start. Let me explain. All the power accessories work...
Not sure you can call it wax
But after getting new paint job, I have used nothing but Liquid Ice from turtle wax.
I use the accessory products like their detail spray and such and am real happy with the results.
I am not real concerned with the protection from the elements due to being...
I have and 84 that had the BOSE system. Only speakers in the door and the back. However I not only replaced the door and rear, but added the 4X6 infinity plates to the dash. Like above you have to remove the dash pad.
Sounds great, removing the dash pad was not easy. Make sure the...
Directional and High beam not lighting usually has to do with ground. Not much help but I would ground everything directly to battery to try isolating issues.
There are two bolts on each injector. (On the side of the large holes) then a hose that goes to the valve cover. Press on the sides from the inside of the air cleaner. Then once you pull up on the air cleaner, there are (If memory serves) two vaccuum hoses that you pull on and they will come...
