Do you mean it won't light up or the numbers don't change?

Check the interior lights dimmer control, next to the headlight switch, and make sure it isn't turned down all the way. Is the radio display off also?

Start with the simple stuff.

Made sure and dash and radio lights respond with the dimer but no joy on the digital display. Thanks, may look deeper into fuses?? but at one time it was intermittent. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Tried the trip button no luck. gas gage dose have a mind of its own. replaced the fuel pump assemble in tank and fixed for a while now back to its old antics. I did run out of gas last week felt like a dumb @#$$%^^ on the way to work and Boss drives right by called and hay boss how about a ride that was good for laugh at work.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
