so i went and picked up another temp/compass after school today and still nothing.Is the layout on the harness the same as on the more advanced dic. i already installed the dic with mpg,econ.,range,ect and everything worked fine thanks to all of you:gr_grin:. but desided to change to compass/temp only if all informatioon was going to be alittle off anyway so im trying to wire it the same way but still nothing is working. Is the power,ground,vss,ect. in the same places being power on left and rap on right side of plug the same as the advanced dic?

No problem. Glad you figured it out. I'm actually thinkin about swapping my full function one out for the basic but not sure if i wanna take the time to do it...... Mine stays on temp mode anyways 95% of the time otherwise its on instant milage

Also will all the functions work. I'm looking for fuel economy and everything like that. Instant and over all. With my 98 k1500.
