Hey everybody, just got back from the middle east a little bit ago, and one of the first things I did was dust off my Roo's and go to start em up. Well, when I went to fire up the 84, turned it on and immediatly got the squeal of death. It funny, cause it worked just fine a year and a half ago when it was last ran, but now, dead. Has anyone made any headway with these, I know a couple years ago there were some guys (Rob maybe ?) working on seeing about getting these fixed. I'm sitting here with 3 dead dashes, and while I'm not an electronics expert I'm fairly competent with circuitry, and I can't see a dang thing wrong with any one of them, I've been over the traces, check the resistors, transistors, diodes, vr's, everything, over and over, and I"m getting a bit frustrated. After a year of driving bloated overweight military monstrosities I really want to take out the gracefully elegent hardtop, but can't really do that with a gaping hole where the instruments are suppose to be. Anyways, sorry for the rant. Thanks, and take care.

Welcome back, and thanks for doing your time in the suck, we all appreciate it. What exactly is wrong with your dash, is it a specific gauge or is it the entire cluster?

Hi Adam This is Jerry, good to see your back i would really like to see you at the show this year. Thanks Jerry

Adam, great to hear from you again!

 

Sorry but I can't tell you whats wrong with your cluster but glad to know you're still around!

Thanks all. Well, it's the usual Gen 2 digi problem, no guages work, high pitch squeal. Was just hoping that there has been some headway made on it. Looks like I'll prolly hafta sit down with the DVOM and start going through it, maybe I'll come up with something.

I have a wedding I have to go to the 21st, so looks like another year that I won't make the show, that and I don't have a roo too take up there right now, turbo down for the dash and a bunch of minor repairs, and the Brat was not happy with the year and a half of sitting, chasing some probs in the fuel injection and the rag joint on the steering is shot. I will be gunning for next year for sure though.
