QUESTION: 1992 cadillac seville...my car starts and runs fine when the dash lights are glitching(read zero) but when they are reading correctly or not working at all it wont start.  I have replaced the PCM and tested the ignition module.  Could it be the BCM and how can I test it?

ANSWER: The first thing I need to know is if you have the old style needle style speedometer or the new DIGITAL speedometer ?.

Does the whole speedometer cluster go dark ?.

Do any of the other displays work ?.

Does any of the working displays show and numbers or letters in the display ?.
