Exclamation Digital dash out

Digital dash just went out on my 94 Bravada (FFFUUUU....). Anyone know were to get one cheap? checked the junk yards around me, nothing and i dont care if the mileage is right or not just looking for one. I know that EBAY has them but 150 bucks. and im going to go through the forums but if anyone has a quick link on how to replace one it will be very helpful.

I rather get one repaired.... One from the junk yard can blow up a few days later...

they sell the kits on ebay if you can solder then its a job for you.IF not get it repaired from someone.

Ebay has some good repair deals. I got mine repaired for 70 last year. Also kept the same mileage. IF you search digital cluster on the search feature of the forum you can find a few threads on this topic.

Also search for my thread . OH NO DID MY CLUSTER BURN ? I think it has the guy who repaired it for me.

Ok i will check in on that, i didnt know that you could repair the cluster. Thanks for the reply, sorry for late reply busy car weekend. But what would cause the cluster to go out, just age? I mean it was working just fine the day before but it was raining then the car sat in the heat the next day 90+ out 130 inside at least thats what the temp gauge on the car said.

yep the soldering joints get weak and Ruin some capacitors inside.

Lets say its a common problem but repairable.
