1988 GTA digital dash wiring diagram

Does anybody have wiring diagram for Firebird GTA 1988 digital dash?

I have some problems, km/h doesn't work (it's always 0 km/h on display), and display which shows trip and other things regarding mileage also doesn't work (there is nothing on display).

Thank you all in advance!

Check your fuses for sure. I have the same dash and have had that problem. If you speedometer is reading zero check the wire to the VSS (connection at the back end of the transmission (tail housing). Is the odometer screen blank or just not adding mileage? I will look and see if I have a schematic that includes the digital dash.

Good luck!

Thank you, I'll check that. Odometer is blank, but in one moment I see mileage on display, but just for moment

Please, take a look if you have a schematic for dash, it will help me a lot.

If the horn works its not a fuse.

After fixing my steering column this summer my horn decided to just start blowing about 800 miles after the column repair. In a pinch, I pulled the fuse to kill the horn, and my display read the same as you're describing. Just a thought.

Horn works, if you meen on sound (beeeep!) after system check. I didn't understand you, when you pulled the fuse, display start or stop work?

It stopped working with fuse pulled, along with the horn on the steering wheel.

horn, power locks and int lights are on the same circuit as the DIC (Drivers info center) if the fuse blows the speedo will be all over the place and none of the above will work.
Mine just started blowing fuses, not sure why...can't seem to find any posts on this...
