Anyone have a digital dash? ANYONE?!

Hey guys,
Ive got a 88 gta notchback with a digital dash....and im having the worst issue. My speedo and odometer arent working. being that they are both digital i figure it would be a little different set up than the analog dash. My speedo is sitting at 0 Kmh and wont go anywhere. id like to get it back to MPH if i could....
If anyone has some expierience with this dash setup please help me out. it'd be appreciated.

thanks
chris

It may be defective modules in the dash itself. Did this dash work before? I had a similar issue and had to replace my digital dash. All buttons/functions work now.

yes it did work. i forgot to mention the cause that i believe. i had to place the fuel pump on a "on/off" switch due to it running while the car was turned off intermittintly. and the fuel pump just went out one day while i was driving. had to relocate the wire in the fuse panel. after i replaced the under dash panel the door buzzer started working where it hadent worked previously. i lost my ODO completely (its blank), and the speedo only shows 0 KM/H. all other dash functions work, but i also lost my power mirrors and locks, dome light, and the horn doesnt work.

Almost sounds like you popped a fuse while you were working on stuff.

Check your fuses.
