display/clock problem

[fielpo]

hi, i have i opel corsa b and a strange problem with the display clock/temp.

when i turn on the car it doesen't works, the display looks dead, but if i push with a finger the plastic against the lcd it works, but if i turn on the light it works just fine...all appears ....

any suggestion?

ps sorry about my english, i'm not from uk, but since this looks like one of the best forum for this kind of cars

Hello and welcome mine does exactly the same. Always had problems with it from the start! I think it is broken and needs to be replaced, not 100% sure though

Q. My TID only lights up when the headlights are on, or whilst im driving it flickers on and off.
A. Another simple one. Simply remove/cut/disconnect wire 7 - GREY/BLACK - Illumination wire. This will keep the TID lit up as long as the ignition is on

This is the connection with pin locations
