the lights are out on my dash, climate control and radio buttons, but are ok (but very dim) on the odometer and radio clock/display. it's like someone turned the dimmer all the way down. could the dimmer be bad? all my interior lights and automatic headlights work.
Dont think this question is detailed enough what is wrong with it? what do you mean panel? the cluster? what is not working
The odometer is held in with 3 screws to the instrument panel, and an electrical connector plugs into the circut board on the instrument panel, unplugs easily. Then the motor that drives the odometer can be unscrewed and taken off. We're going to get another one from another Buick at a junkyard and screw & plug it in, and hopefully it will start working. I took the instrument panel out of our 92 Buick Regal, (took off the bolts (really screws with bolt heads) for the top dash pad and pulled it out, very easy). Then the instrument panel can be unscrewed (4 screws/bolt heads) and easily pulled out, leave the transmission PNDD2L indicator attached, or 2 screws on the bottom of the instrument panel and it comes out, and took the face plates off the instrument panel to get at the odometer.
possibly, the speed sensor
Checked owners manual for any obvious fuses. Any recommendations why instrument panel and gauges would guit working?

where is the 91 vandura G2500 Instrument Panel Cluster Relay located :milsunworld@yahoo.com
The ECM is located under the right hand side of the instrument panel.
The instrument panel fuse block is located on the passenger's side of the instrument panel. In order to access it you will need to open the front passenger door and pull off the cover labeled FUSES.
None of the instruments are working on the dash. None of the instruments are working on the dash.
There are numerous reasons that can cause the instrument panel to stop working. In my case, I found a pin on one of the printed circuit boards that had never been soldered. This pin supplied 12 DC power from one board to the other and was black from arcing over the years. This was an intermittent problem that would cause the entire panel to come and go. I soldered the pin and the instrument cluster has been working flawlessly ever since. Bad grounds are often the cause for electrical problems in Corvettes.
