    I would guess that you are referring to a 90 or 91 and would say normal. 88 and 89 would light interor and odomometer A/C info is in the CRT.

    Pardon my ignorance, I'm not certain what CRT is. I thought it was the '88/89 touch display-(still a rookie). What about that intermitent "error" stuff? Mine is a '90. [img]images/icons/confused.gif" border="0[/img]
