Wtf!!

[metalsoul]

Any reason why resetting the SI (service indicator) wouldn't work? I thought maybe it shorted, or the batteries were shot...but my tach and temp guages seem to be functioning properly!!??!?

And YES, I've reset it many times on my previous e30, NEVER having problem, and I am doing it correctly by jumping pins 7 and 19.

So WTF??

Usually if the si board does not reset it's a faulty board, unless you have other problems with wiring etc.

If the board is faulty, wouldn't my tach and temp guages which are controlled by the board as well, be malfunctioning?

not necessarily... 20 year old electro parts...

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but if the batteries were dead on the board, the guages and SI light strip wouldn't function correct?

Uhhhhh, hey Levent...got a board for me if I need it??;)
BTW, what was that text about? I thought Gutenfest wasn't for like another 20 days? You had me worried like it was tonight and I was missing it! LOl!

It's not black and white. SI strip can all light up like christmas tree with dead batteries/board....it depends on how it failed...if you look at the si board it's not a simple battery/led circuit.

Buy a board from L and fix the cluster :)

Or have L pimp your cluster out with some goodies!
