No Bus Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
A no-bus indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The no-bus indication appears within the fixed segment odometer Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The odometer no-bus indicator consists of a textual No-BUS message that appears in place of the odometer/trip
odometer information.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located at the base of
the cluster overlay right gauge dial face, (Dodge) or the tachometer dial face (Chrysler). The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly
visible when not illuminated. The no-bus textual message appears in the same blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the other information
displayed in the odometer VFD unit when illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
During daylight hours, (exterior lamps are off) the odometer VFD unit illuminates at full brightness for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are on),
the VFD lighting level adjusts with the other cluster illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel of the headlamp switch on the
instrument panel. However, a Parade mode position of the thumbwheel allows the VFD unit to illuminate at full brightness if the exterior lamps are
turned on during daylight hours.
The no-bus indicator is serviced as a unit with the odometer VFD unit in the instrument cluster.
