DESCRIPTION

A door ajar indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. However, on vehicles equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) the door ajar indicator in the odometer VFD is electronically suppressed so as not to duplicate indications that are provided by the EVIC. The door ajar indicator consists of the text DOOR, which appears in place of the odometer/trip odometer information in the odometer VFD unit.

The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The door ajar indicator appears in the same blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer/trip odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.

The door ajar indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.
