I've ordered a manual to give me some ideas, since I don't know where to start and don't want to pay the dealer another $69 to tell me it's probably going to be a $200 repair. Thanks for any help/suggestions!
Tell me what manual you ordered? I went to the junk yard and replaced my overhead DIC (ya, that's Driver Information Center) and the 2nd one went bad also. In both cases it is the display driver IC chip thats failed.
I own the 22,000 + page Helms factory books for this van and there isn't any data at all about the internals of the overhead display board. You found something to purchase that details the display?
