Member Contributer DangerDave Posted September 11, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted September 11, 2023 My LCD display on the instrument cluster has faded almost completely away (due to heat or sunlight, I guess?) I've researched a little on replacement of the polarizing film but I am curious if anyone here has done this particular repair and if so, can you offer advice/pointers? This is on a 2005 VFR800A.

I wonder if your problem might be due to a Power or Ground issue. - The LCD's have their own Ground and its the Green/Black wire to the Instrument Panel. Check this wire make sure it has good continuity back the the Battery Negative. - Make sure the main Instrument Panel Ground, Green wire is the same continuity wise. - Also confirm you are seeing a good solid 12v at the Red/Green wire, Instrument Panel main power. - Might be worth unplugging the panel connector make sure its clean and making good contact. A spray of good Electrical contact lube like CRC2-26 or similar might help. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
