How to remove dic on 97-03

[Mirraco]

Wondering how to remove the dic on my 2000. I got to it today and couldn't figure out how it actually came out I didn't see any bolts holding it but it didn't budge when pulling on it

[Tea Time]

It just clips in there. Slide a flat screwdriver down each side between the dic and the dash itself. Just pry easy as not to break the plastic

I got my old one out, put the "new" one in, it says tcs(I believe) instead of Trac. The car needs a wheel bearing so the low trac was on, on this one it is not on and does nothing when I press the tcs, is this normal??

You got the wrong DIC. 97 is 97 only and 98-03 are interchangeable. There is a difference between the GT and the GTP DIC as well.

It was the closest that I seen at the junkyard that was even similar to mine, others didn't have any buttons just showed the little pictures on the side, will this one work in my car? I assume it will work besides the trac buttons, everything else is working fine..for 20$ I should be okay in my opinion, seeing they are about 70$ on ebay after I went there and got it

First, I am no expert on this but have been looking into it a lot lately. The "pictures" is analog style, while yours is referred to as digital. I am looking at upgrading my analog to digital. So I might have ran across some information that might help explain.

Look at this thread. Evidently the signal is opposite of a GP/SE and GTP. So there is an hack to "invert" the signal. See if this sounds like your situation.

I think I put a GTP one in, not sure, the one on ebay,where I got the pictures says gtp only, but theres no boost part on there.

Just the no traction light isn't on, and doesn't do anything when I press TCS, the wheel bearing is out so the first one said low trac and didn't do anything, but the whole part on the left didn't light up so I got a different one.

Car I pulled it off of was a GT Im pretty sure, didn't have a super charger, but who knows..I just want to make sure my traction works in the winter time xD

[Bronco Boy]

Tcs = gtp

trac = gt

[Mirraco]

Tcs = gtp

trac = gt

Will it still work or should I get a different one, I just need to make sure the traction is on during winter

Directly, no. You can modify the GTP one to work in a GT, but you have to pull it apart and do some soldering.

Here is how to modify the GTP digital DIC to work in a GT..... http://www.clubgp.com/cgi-asp/mods.asp?modid=171

Where is Rare at when you need him, he knows all about this ****.

One other question, will the junkyard let you exchange it? Our u-pull will not. If they let you and can find the right model then go ahead, if you can't the the hack may keep you from throwing away a good DIC.
