I still haven't tore apart my car to chase all the wires... so its still not working

Well....finally some resolution to this thread, i have finally fixed my dic.
I had a couple days off so i decided to tear the dash out of my car and start chasing wires and checking fuse panels incase a wire fell out or broke...anyways this is dash out (day 1)...
so i chased each wire into each harness inside the cabin, checked where they plugged into the fuse panel and all was good, tight and no breaks in wires.i even started a thread to find out how many live wires should run to a working DIC but got no replies....i figured if someone had 5 live wires to a working dic then i would concentrate on a certain wire but there only supposed to b 4 live wires to the dic (which i had). so i took the dic apart while still plugged into the car so the bulbs were exposed...now i had my test light grounded to the frame of the car and started touching the circuits inside the dic with the test light (i was just frustrated and bored at this point which is why i started poking at the dic with the test light).
BAM...all of a sudden i touched a point on the circuit board and the dic lit up but didn't display any numbers....so i brought the dic inside my house and tore it apart...to find this...
a resistor or some thing of the sort on the corner of the dic burned up causing the DIC not to work.....So a long story ; short .... my DIC was defective , i assumed it was fine and the problem was wiring
Day 2 - Ran to the junkyard today, got one and it now works...installed my dash and everything now works....sucks that i took the entire dash out but gave me a chance to install the HUD, that the car didn't have for some odd reason.

From hindsight, I wish I would have taken my dash out to do the HUD install. Trying to make the cuts and not hit the windshield was a major PITA. Don't even get me started on the mess.Originally Posted by Tea Time

tdm...u nik ur windshield at all?
I assumed everyone changed dashes too when installing hud but when i had both dashes side by side, the without dash just needed to be cut and everything else was there to install hud, so i wondered if guys left the dash in to cut it or took it out. (i didn't read anything about the hud install before i started, just went with it}
