Error
 

i just bought a 1989 gmc s15 jimmy and it has the digital guages, i was wondering why it says error where the miles should be displayed. Is there any way to fix this?


edit: its also a 4x4 with the 4.3 v6

The only fix I know of for these (I had the same problem on my 91 Blazer) is to send it to Mr Whizard - http://www.mrwhizard.com/ OR there is a guy on eBay that does an exchange - you send him your screwed up one and he sends you a reman unit. Here is one of his listings: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SALE-...Q5fAccessories

thanks for the links. i called the ebay company and they said that i need the whole cluster. i was hoping it was something cheap since its only a $100 truck.

Re: Error
 

What about converting it over to an analog cluster? You could sell or trade the digital cluster and wiring pigtail to offset the cost... I actually ended up converting my 91 from digital to analog.

Well if it's still running and driving with no problems and the error message is bugging you then just put a piece of black tape over it. Outa sight. Outa mind.
I did the same thing on a buick riv I had. Drove for 2 years. No worries.

yeah i dont really need an odometer i just wanted to see how many miles the truck had. Im mostly going to be driving the truck in the woods anyway.

Re: Error
 

okay well i have the same problem with the stupid error code. but mine will show the miles then go back to the error code, it's like it's got a loose wire or something. it will still put mile's on but it's always sketchy on how many it'll put on,
so could mine just be a bad wire or something?

This guy will be able to answer your question:

also. an analog cluster wont work in a car with a digital one. the plug that connects it to the dash is different....unless you want to cut and solder like 30 wires.
