LOL ok I got ya now. Im slow hehe. Im working on it. I will be back soon with the answer to your problem hopefully. I was just trying to see if your lights do light up which I understand they do but you apparently dont have a plate so Ill see what mine looks like

 

Correct.

All I have is the black faceplate that is attached to housing that goes around the radio, climate control, and DIC.

 

Someone has changed the imprinted panel, probably. Might have a check engine light on and didn't want to fix it properly, so their fix was to make a non transparent panel.

 

I think hes right I got mine apart today. Sorry it took so long. Mine wont come off. Its glued or somethng on. I didnt no that. You probably need a new lens. What a jerk that had your car. Thats all I can say. Good luck

 

That's what I was afraid of. I wasn't sure there was an imprinted panel there or not----I assumed there had to be something to tell the driver what light(s) were on or off.

I really appreciate the help guys!!!!

Guess I'm going to have to find a new imprinted panel someplace.

 

Well my ABS light and my check engine light go off consecutivly for no reason so I put black electric tape over it. If I can get the ***** off I will try to sell it cheap to ya. I dont like those pesky lights anyway. Everytime they go off its bad news....

 

Hey Black86vette---sounds like the imprinted panel is glued onto the back of the black facing plate. Is that right?? I was looking in Corvette Central last night and I noticed they sell the black plastic console moulding that goes around the radio, CC & DIC, but the hole for the DIC panel is open. So that kinda tells me that the DIC facing plate is a separate item.

If you can get the thing off in reasonable condition let me know.

Really appreciate your help!!
