DIC doing strange things...
 

Hey folks, I have an '06 LT1 with 150K on it and the other day I got into the car and started it and noticed the DIC was very dim. While driving I noticed little dots appearing (literally popping up one at a time in a row) across the top of the DIC. When the dots were all the way across the top of the DIC the DIC got bright again. This morning on the way to work (dots still there seemingly under the words on the display) the dots started disappearing and the DIC went dim again... My girlfriend has a 2011 Impala and says she experienced the same thing for a couple of days. Any ideas? Has anyone else experienced this. I did some digging in the forums but couldn't find anything. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Did it happen to the girlfriend's car around the same time it happened to yours? Were you having colder weather when it happened? Sometimes temperature can do funny things to displays. Just a thought...

D.I.C. is R.I.P.
 

As stated in my previous post, the LEDs in the Driver Information Center on my '06 had been acting weird. I went out at lunch today and the whole DIC was dark...nothing...nada. Has anyone ever had this happen? I will try to reset it by disconnecting the pos battery cable for a few minutes but I doubt that will help anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Can anyone tell me if the DIC is just a replaceable LED board?

That is weird I havent had that happen yet.

as Mike (03SSLE) had said previously...It could be a cold weather situation...

But since you havent posted where you live (what state) also makes a difference...good luck!

Hope you didn't look up anything you didn't want to see when looking up "DIC problems" =X

Check your battery terminals & make sure the connections are tight...

Sorry StumpMI, I used to live up in your neck of the woods (North of Flint) but have been in Middle Tennessee since 1995 and while we do get cold in the mornings rarely do we see single digit weather.

Is that the ONLY problem you are having? Flashing lights, clicking noises?
I had DIC and dash problems when my BCM went out on my '01 SS LE

Yeah, that's the only thing just the display comes and goes seemingly as it pleases.
