I've seen that a few people have had problems with the digital dash fading in and out as it pleases, but finally one day, the same day both my tail lights went out, the dashboard now won't light up at all. I've switched out the fuses and checked for grounded wires, but have yet to come up with anything. So through troubleshooting I've come up with:

- Doubtful I need to change bulbs on tail lights because the odds that both went out at the same time are minimal.
- Checked and replaced corresponding fuses with no results
- Searched for grounded wires, came up with nothing. Good possibility I missed something, though.

I'm not what you'd call a car expert, so even if I tried something, please feel free to suggest it again. I could use any help at all. Thanks.

 

it tends to be common that the digital dashes go bad. ur dash could be entirely bad and need replacing (i'm not sure tho) i dont have a digital dash so i cant really help u much there but there are a few members that have had problems w/ the digital dash and they'll prolly comment and help u out.

with the tail lights i would replace the bulbs and go from there

 

The digi dashes are bad about having cold solder joints and easy to fry motherboard power supplies from the factory. I'm guessing by the whole thing going out at once yours is gonna be the more expensive option.

The tails, start with the bulbs, fuses, the connector (behind the drivers side light in the cargo compartment, you'll have to remove the panel), grounds, and the brake switch. I'm sure theres more to check and I know you have some but thats all that comes to mind right now.

This guy is great and he has instructions. Warranty for a year and less than 150.00 for a refurb. He puts in a better power board and backs his work.
