It might be the cable, I haven't done anything to rule it out. The
cable LOOKS good, but who knows?
Unfortunately living out in the sticks in MN means I don't have easy
access to an electronics parts store to buy the parts for a new cable
to test. Anyone in the MN Twin Cities area know of a good electronics
parts store?
I should add that the display came up fine before I drove around the
block (though I never changed it from the default RPM screen).
Thanks!
Mark
