Re: Ipc 97 ga se

It must have the same guage style as the one you're replacing.
Though one could possibly run extra wires to/from the ECU to the newr gauge(s) to the appropriate sensor(s). Ive seen it done on other cars/trucks but not with a GA. You would need the pin out for the ECU/ECM.

And when you replace the IPC you'll probly need to do a security relearn. Just key "on" for 15 mins or so untill the security light stops flashing or comes on, if its off when key is turned to "on".

This is a typical issue with this model. I wouldnt be surprised if the salvage yard one will do the same thing at some point. They do sell refurbished(fixed) ones on the internet.
