hey everyone.

Ok I have a digital cluster in my car and everything works on it except the cluster lights, the digital speedo, and the HUD.

my light for my clock works and also tonight when i turned the car off then turned it back on, the speedo and the HUD came on for a few seconds then went out again.

would anyone know what the problem is or how i could fix it.

Thanks.

Matt

i dont know much about the huds in the 240’s but i would say check all fuses and all connections ie stuff like that happen to my s13 with electrical crap and 90% of the time it was a fuse…

^^^ it’s definitely not a fuse as this problem is all too common… my bro’s used to only come on for a few seconds during startup and at certain rpm’s.  
good luck figuring it out… i’d say just get yourself a working HUD cluster and hope it doesn’t crap out on you for a while.

Usually if it’s in relation to the temperature it’s a short in the circuit paper or a capacitor thats toast.

I’d say, pull the cluster out and check all the connections on it, diodes, resisters and capacitors… it’s not that big of a deal if you have a multimeter with a buzzer… It shouldn’t really take you too long to do.

This is assuming, all the wiring to the cluster is a-ok and there are no burnt out fuses…
