Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: Driver information center not working, battery voltage, voltmeter


Question
I have a 1999 Olds Silhouette van, the DIC is not currently working, I just bought the van, I checked both fuses that power the DIC and no luck both were good. Is there an in-line fuse someplace, or can you give me any advice on where to continue looking for problems. Thanks for your time.

Answer
Hi
If it is NOT working at all, remove the DIC and check for power WITH A VOLTMETER on Terminal 14 to ground (should be battery voltage [B+]).
Terminal 7 to ground should be B+.
* ON OHMS * Terminal 8 to ground UNPLUGGED on ohms shuld be 0-3 ohms.
If all these cvheck OK, the DIC is bad.
If any fail tests, repair as necessary.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck
