Driver Information Center Malfunction
Normally the DIC is always operative. Lately mine has been spotty. Typically you press the MODE button and the display lights up for 1 to 4 seconds and then goes dark. If the battery supplies enough voltage to light it up in the first place, what could be the explanation (and fix) for what is malfunctioning?
