Not sure if my DIC is working

[Dutchman]

I figured as much, but I’m the new guy. I’ll get caught up some day.

We have kind of wore that joke out around here.

Yeah, but most of our DICs are still in good shape and working!

True true.

I am older than most on this forum. I have to make do with what I got.

That is, my Driver Information Center...

I have an aftermarket radio installed and the volume, seek and source buttons on my steering wheel function with the radio. But the lower buttons don't do anything. According to the owner's manual, I should be able to scroll through a menu of settings and personalize several settings.

The display works. It shows "DRIVER 1" when I start the truck and when I first got it, it shows "CHECK WASHER FLUID" which was low. So it seems the DIC itself is working, but the buttons are not responsive.

So my question is how hard is it to check and see if they were disconnected when the radio was installed?

I'm surprised that I haven't gotten more comments about my title. At least it got some attention.

Ask your wife?

I like your Jack Elam avatar. Jack Rocks!

I do too. Grew up in Hollywood. We'd run into him at the grocery store. He'd scare the shit out of my mom. I'd laugh all the way home.
