| Help ,my dash is going crazy. EVERY light lights up ,then flickers, then goes totally dark , then OK, then flickers. It 's like a ballroom light show. Could there be a bad ground? Or this a telltale sign to try and get a new dash? Can you still get them? Thank you | |

| I'm assuming you're talking about your IPC (instrument panel cluster). Sounds like you might only have a loose/dirty wire harness connection at the back of the IPC. Remove the trim plate, then the cluster and clean/reattach the harness connection and see if it eliminates the problem. | |

| How's your alternator looking? That or a failing battery can make odd symptoms where your dash has intermittent xmas light issues... Worth a look.
Good luck. | |

| Ironclyde,
As mentioned in my previous post "00" and "error" can be an indication of:
"you might only have a loose/dirty wire harness connection at the back of the IPC. Remove the trim plate, then the cluster and clean/reattach the harness connection and see if it eliminates the problem".
Also, a rebuilt IPC is an alternative. 1990-1993 Riviera and 1990-1991 Reatta IPC's are interchangeable. They are a common item for sale on EBay ranging from $100 to $199 depending on guarantees offered. | |

| Thanks Ship. I did all of the wire harness shaking and connector cleaning. So, I'm with you on the IPC. Fortunately, I have a friend who can repair it. He's the kinda guy that might be inclined to trade silver coins or ammo or you know... He's a good guy but he's out of town on vacation in Virginia. I didn't want to wait until he got back. I'm wondering if it's not a loose soldered connection.  | |
