1990 GW Overhead Console Help

Post by BobHayes69 »

I have power going to my overhead console, and can get the lights to work, but the digital readout is not working. I cant seem to locate a new "brain" or even full console from a GW. Does anyone know of other Chrysler/Jeeps that would have had compatible electronics?

As far as I know they used the overhead console from 99s Chrysler minivans - so something like Chrysler Town & country, dodge caravan or Plymouth voyager from those years should be a good donor

Its the capacitors in the circuit board that are most likely blown. Ive repaired mine and 4 or 5 others by just replacing the capacitors by soldering new ones.

Take the circuit board out and have a look at the caps. Specificly the brown ones that go bad
