I thought you gave up??

Where did you get the "new" digital dash from? These dashes are known to have problems and many convert to the regular analog dashes when encountering problems with the digital dash.

I do not know the specifics, just that the digital dashes were known to have problems.

Look up analog to digital conversions and you should see what needs to be done. The harnesses are different from what I was able to read.

The digi dashes are known to have a weak motherboard and cold solder joints on them. Cold solder joints are easy fixes, get a soldering iron and touch them up. The mobo can be replaced and there is a company on ebay that will do it for you, do an exchange for yours, or sell you a kit to fix it yourself.

For swapping it out.
