Hello Biggvl,

Your handle does not match the car :P

I am going to go out on a limb here, BUT what happens when you turn the car to ignition? When the car is off the only display that is light is the right had one with the odo.

It is only once the car is started/placed in ignition that the other become active.

It is definately a interesting failure if the two left ones are all dead. Never seen that before.

Cheers

Either the car is running when he took the pics or the tacho is stuck on 750rpm ;)

So there you go, there certainly was something wrong with the board in the trip meter display. Unfortunately the odometer is registered in the trip display also, I’ll have to sort that at a later date.

Pretty :)

Are you able to change that Biggvl? Technically it is only 20,000 but still. Have you looked at changing the LCD's over?

The LCD's are from another dash (with more kms) the screens are part of a module that easily swaps out. The reason I did this was that the doner cluster was a V6 one (wrong tacho). Fixing the odometer reading is on my 'to do' list.

I have the same issue with my VS V6 Biggvl.
I recently did a Level 3 dash swap in using a level 3 patch loom. Bought the trip comp & dash separately. When first installed the dash screens all light up & had LCD displays.
Now same as yours was, only the right hand side screen working.

So do I need another level 3 V6 dash or the trip computer to fix it ?

Likely the controller board, here's the original thread about where the odo is stored. On the 8 pin IC
