trofeo sauna

I have a 92 trofeo, and I'll start the car then everything on thse panel goes blank except the tach. The defrost turns on automaticly and blows hot air. What can be done about this.

Welcome to AF. What panel, dash, heater control?

it's the instrument cluster, which is the digital odometer and the information center

It is more than likely failing.

yes I agree. But why? Any suggestions? I would like to fix it myself if possible

Can you overhaul a digital dash, take it out and apart , look for bad soldered connections, if you feel up to this, if not exchanges are available. Also check for proper grounds in the dash circuitry.

You're right. It IS the instrument cluster, and more specifically, a corrupt capacitor. The good news: cost a few cents to replace. The bad news: it is quite technical.

Here's a link that will tell you everything you need to know to fix it.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to tackle it A.S.A.P the extra's about static control will be helpful. I'll let you know the outcome.
