    Si board help

    So my tach and obc are not working. I was thinking it's my si board batteries but the service lights turn on and when I removed it looks like nothing was wrong I have included some pics

      SI board has nothing to do with the OBC. I think your problem is deeper than that. history of the issues? maybe unrelated

        This is completely untrue. The SI board powers and controls the tach, temp, MPG, and OBC calculations.

        To the OP, there is one obvious thing wrong with your SI board. Those batteries are around 30 years old. They need to be replaced.

        We sell replacement refurbished SI boards with warranty and give you money back for your original Si board. Bavrest.com

          I should have been more clear. OP said OBC is 'dead', which to me means it's completely non-functional; no clock, no backlight, etc... and this obviously wouldn't be caused by the SI board. Sorry for the confusion... hence why I asked for some history, or more information, about the problems.
