Re: DIC (Driver Information Center) Out

I was just going to suggest the resistor. I hope you didnt just burn up the LED's.

Re: DIC (Driver Information Center) Out

If the LED's were hooked up backwards the LED's will not burn out. But if the LED's were hooked up correctly then the LED's will burn up. I am betting that they were hooked up backwards, otherwise you would see the LED flash brightly then go out.

Bought the digital DIC from this website and they sent me the one with the car on it that isn't digital. Looks like I gotta send it back and wait another week....bummer.

Re: DIC (Driver Information Center) Out

Did you check the right boxes, or did ZZP actuslly mess up?

They are usually pretty good.

Yeah picture on the website was of the digital DIC and I requested the one with the trac button. Apparently there was confusion because usually the one with that button is the analog one...oh well hopefully we'll get it sorted out monday.

Re: DIC (Driver Information Center) Out

no, GTP's use digital DIC's with a "tcs" button and have a "boost" guage

Some GT's use analog displays, some digital. The digital ones in GT's have the "TRAC" button.

The "tcs" and "TRAC" DIC's are not interchangable.

i would make sure and stress to ZZP that you have a GT with a DIC and NOT a GTP with a DIC. they might send you the wrong digital display for the GTP then everything will just flash "0" in the display.
