Hey Everyone,  Ok here is the scoop.  I got my SR in and running with basicly no Problems, but my dash won't work.  It will turn come on when I'm driving but  goes off when it wants to, or if I come to a stop.  Can anyone help me with what this might be.  I don't mind driving like that during the day but being my headlights won't turn on night driving is out of the question.  Help appreciated imediately!

If you have the digital dash speedometer option,and it goes out until it warms up. We just had ours fixed. it was the dash power supply going out. had a new supply coil installed,and now works fine. Seems that this is a fairly common problem with the digital dash option.

If it isn't a digital gauge cluster problem, then I would check the connections for the wires from the dash to your SR wiring harness. The connections there may be wrong. Remember, in order for the swap to work, especially from the dash, the connections need to be correct. There should be wires that match up.
