This morning my digital dash suddenly went out, came back momentarily after I hid a bump and stayed dark afterwards. Came back a few times for about 10 seconds with engine off and ignition on and then went blank again.
I checked all the wires and everything reads normal,(every powerlead and ground is double checked) bulbs are also ok, everything else works fine including egine lights
The only thing I could find is the white/red wire(from min/max illumination button) does not have 12Volts, I used another cable to provide 12 volts but that even did not work.

any suggestions???

Is it dimming, or is it actually turning all the way off?

I took it apart and cleaned the connectors, it worked for about 10 seconds anf then the center display dimmed(while the other 2 remained normal), then left went black, and eventually all went blank again. Looks like sometimes it resets itself but all 3 screens act differently
(powerproblem? Does it have a voltage regulator?

I had a center one act up like this.. bumps and all. Re bent the connectors at the bulb holder and fixed.

The only connectors I see are the ones connecting to the digital display(3 of them)
The bulbs are twist in types

I had similar problems and I scraped the contact to get fresh metal and solved the problem.

Also, when the lights go out, you should see the display still functioning with maybe a flash light behind the board , that would indicate bulbs. If not, there are other issues.

Happened to my first digi dash, now Russ has the red panels in his 87.5 Alpine
