Greetings!
I bought a 1994 GL1500 Aspencade a couple of months ago. Runs great (or it did).
The LCD display had a black half moon coming in on each side, covering about 40% of the screen.
I bought this one on ebay,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150884395189?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I tried installing it today. I have the factory repair manual, so did remove and reinstall all the parts correctly.
I pulled the plugs apart on back of the instrument panel, did not pull on the wires.
I used the 'new' instrument panel, and just swapped out the speedometer (wanted it to reflect the actual miles on the bike). The new instrument group housing is in better condition too.
I saw no other electrical compnents that could have been damanged for this repair.
Put it all back together, and the bike is DEAD. When I turn on the key, NO lights come on, the radio does not come on, the starter does not work.
Should this 'new' instrument panel work in my 1994 Aspencade?
If not, would you speculate that if I reinstalled the old instrument panel that I would get my bike back running?
I was too freegin' hot (live in Houston, TX) to mess with it any more today.
Feedback and thoughs appreciated.
TIA
