Lol, I'm slow and you've got to keep it simple for me.
I've got one of those digital clusters. I got it years ago to use in my S10, but when I bench tested it, there was something wrong with it. It's been so long, I don't remember what the issue was with it.
Guarantee almost 10/10 the issue is either old cracked cold soldering from the mfg or dead resistors/caps
I had to go thru the whole "digital dash gimmick" every s10 owner suffers that gets the cool VFD... Mine only Partially illuminated when I got it in.... 2013?
Inspected the board with a magnifying glass, found some broken soldering on the pins, and like I said, I had to replace some resistors, and 1 or 2 capacitors on the board...
Lmk if you ever wanna pursue that route, I have EN-STRUKT-SHE-ON'S on that procedure noted and saved...
When I said earlier "ask me how I know" about the black/white gauges like what's in your ss454, what I meant was... That digital dash drove me crazy and I had rewired my cluster bulkhead to work with a s10 cluster that used the black/white needles temporarily until I fixed my VFD disaply in my s10.
