Re: IML: 90-93 EVIC ?

I dont think I am going to be much help,

Harvey yes I have hard copes they are the FSM for 1990 I have 3 books

1)Engine,Chassis & Body, 2) Wiring Diagrams, 3) Electrical,Fuel & Emissions

Now as for the EVIC (the overhead display Thing-ee) IT gets it info for display from (here is the Thing-ee) The Engine Compartment Node via the CCD Bus.

now the book said I must not have all the books. For complete diagnostic procedures see the AY Body Diagnostic Test Procedure Manual. I don't have that.

Now the Node Thingee is out front behind the grill. from the pic it is up under the beam that the hood latches to center driver side. so it looks like you take the grill out and look for a (node-ee looken box). The grill only has 2 screws holden it in so it is very EZ to remove.

I hope this helps And it looks as if I will be hunten a 4th FSM for this car.

Thanks Alan, I feel like am so needy these days with my cars. If it's not the rust it's some other thing. Anyway, I'm doing this because I'll probably be making some changes from one car that I'm selling to my car that I'm going to keep. -My best Always- Anthony

Let me know what the thing"ee" is when you can!

Hi Anthony

I am work now. I think there is a thingee (technical term) that feeds the display. I will look in the FSM tonight. It may be just the display that is bad but I would lean toward the (thingee)

It may also be a bad or dirty connector some place it the system. The body computer is under the pass side kick panal. Try unpluging the connector and clean it with contact cleaner.

One far shoot, when my battery was going out. when i started my car it took too much of what was left of the charge out and the electronices when nuts in my car. till i got a new battery. This is a shot in the dark.

I have a 93 Imperial that has the overhead EVIC (Electronic Vehicle Information center) package that works great but not the car. My other 93 car EVIC does not work properly. If I take the battery terminal off and place it back on to reboot it, it
will work for a little while, but then go out. What do I have to remove from the working car EVIC to make the switch over into my other 93. Is it only the digital map light/console overhead or is their
something in the engine compartment that I need to take out as well -Thanks -Anthony
