Title: Any easter eegs for electronic dash?
Post by: SlaughterDog on May 20, 2011, 03:56:34 AM
So I've got the electronic dash on my '87 t-bird, no buttstuffog needles at all. Anyone know of any nifty goodies that this might have? I know on some cars there's a diagnostic mode and it can display trouble codes on the odometer.

well you can run codes with a paperclip and the check engine light. The fully digital cluster is nice in the sense I find the tachometer to be very very cool.

I'd have to look at the service manual, but all those codes tell if and/or what is wrong with the display.
