Hello.
Yesterday morning I tried to turn my DIC on and got nothing. None of the buttons did anything. It has worked fine up to now so I suspect a fuse or relay, but my owners manual does not specify which ones. I actually find the DIC annoying and usually leave it off, but I would like to adjust some of the settings it controls. Plus, things should work on a five year old car! Any thoughts?

Not completely dead. I just noticed that I still get error messages on the DIC. (Such a door ajar and trunk open, I don't know about the error codes) But none of the control functions.

Take the covers off your fuse block, one under the hood and one under the rear sear. On the inside of the covers are legends.
It's probably a mini fuse.
Mine is still working fine.

Mine doesn't work either, hasn't since I got the car a few months ago. The outline of the car works and shows doors ajar and the compass works, but the small rectangle screen below that is blank. I looked through the owners manual and at the diagrams on the fuse blocks but couldn't find a fuse specific to that part. I checked all the fuses that could possibly be related to it, but they were all good.

Any other ideas? I've had the gage cluster apart to fix burnt out bulbs and I cleaned the contacts and everything while I had it apart and still nothing.

Well I got tired of not being able to find any info about it anywhere, so I picked up a whole new gauge cluster off of ebay for 40 bucks. We'll see how that works.

I got the new gauge cluster in my car today, and the DIC works now. So apparently it just went bad in my old cluster. Now that I have a spare I might dig into it a little bit and see if I can find anything wrong.

I would've suggested..




But it seems you found a natural way

I was thinking the same thing
