gl1500 lcd display quotation

The lcd screen is backlit but the time and radio doesn"t show up...nothing. Also th cruise control does nothing and the air ride controls don"t work. Bike runs great. No sputtering or starting issues like I"ve seen in other posts. Just trying to figure out where to start. I Have looked around and some people suggest the ecm? Seems that was more of an ignition problem though. Any ideas ?

The back lighting for the LCD operates independent of the LCD, so you may have back lighting but no display. Like the others have said check the fuses, fuse #10 is the AUX fuse.

The dash lighting (which includes the LCD backlight) is completely separate from the drivers that run the LCD (which are contained primarily inside the radio).

You have no air, you have no cruise, because your LCD panel displays nothing, you can ignore the air and cruise not working, and the pulse voltage for now. As said before the backlighting is just a backlight, no different to the other instrument backlighting.

For all you know someone could have replaced the LCD panel and not plugged something back in, and did not find out until it was back together, or it did not work before it was fitted.

If it were a headlight not working, you would go straight to the bulb, well............ Unfortunately having a LCD panel to pop in is a bit more difficult.

I would be tempted to try another radio unit, but for me that would be as hard as getting hold of a LCD panel. If I was going to start on it I would remove the instrument panel anyway, and replace ALL the warning light bulbs, regardless of if they work or not.

The GL1100A "83 received the same engine and running gear updates of the other models. The Aspencade also got new front and rear brakes, with internally ventilated front discs (only), as well as a digital LCD instrument panel and some additional amenities for rider and passenger. Weight went up just a bit to 707 pounds (321 kg).

The GL1200A "84 had all the features of the GL1200I, plus a new Panasonic audio system that combined AM/FM radio, cassette player and an intercom between the rider and passenger. Unlike the analog instruments of the Interstate, the Aspencade had a dashboard with an LCD digital display.

New Gold Wing engine design goals were smoothness, quietness and enormous power.Cologne Motorcycle Show, 13 years after the original GL1000 was first shown to the public at the same venue, and the GL1500 brought the most changes seen to the Gold Wing series since its inception. The biggest difference was that the flat-four engine was replaced with a flat-six engine.Keihins supplying all six cylinders, the first time any Gold Wing had less than one carb per cylinder.

The following year, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of American-made Gold Wings, every bike produced for 1991 came with a numbered plaque and anniversary edition insignia. There were three "91 models: Aspencade indicated the regular GL1500 model; the luxurious Special Edition from the year before carried on as the SE model; and the Interstate name denoted a stripped-down model.

Beginning in 1993, all GL1500 rocker arms pivoted on needle bearings, and the cruise control was updated to directly read crankshaft speed for enhanced precision. 1994 was the seventh year of GL1500 production (longer than any of its forerunners) and nothing significant changed except the asking price.

The 1996 Aspencade received an upmarket audio system that had been exclusive to the GL1500SE. Yet another milestone was reached in mid-1996 when a Gold Wing Aspencade was the millionth Honda motorcycle made in America to roll off the assembly line at the Marysville Motorcycle Plant.Valkyrie in May 1996 (for the 1997 model year). The Valkyrie was the first naked GL since 1984.

1997 GL1500s received engine, transmission and final drive improvements first introduced on the GL1500C. A 1998 Gold Wing styling makeover extended to the engine with redesigned valve covers, but no price increase. Honda commemorated 50 years in America by adding 50th Anniversary emblems to all 1999 Gold Wings; the GL1500A "99 price increased. The 2000 Gold Wings had chrome-plated valve covers, Canadian and American models also had gold-plated 25th Anniversary emblems marking 25 years since the first GL1000 debuted for the 1975 model year.

The original 15th Anniversary Special Edition model had a vented windshield, additional lights, upgraded sound system, two-tone paint with special insignia, adjustable passenger floorboards and adjustable foot pegs as well as foot heaters for the rider. In 1990 It had a weight of 807 pounds (366 kg) dry. The GL1500SE "91 was essentially unchanged, though weight and price were up a bit at 809 pounds (367 kg).

The GL1500SE "97 had powertrain updates. Honda marked its 50th anniversary in 1999 without a GL1500SE price increase, and the American-made GL1500SE "99 that was exported to Japan got a two-tone paint job. More significantly, the export model got an exhaust air-injection system along with carburetor modifications in order to pass Japan"s new emission regulations.

The GL1500I "91 model had its weight and price cut by eliminating the reverse gear, cruise-control, the passenger footboards, and by replacing the audio system with a small Kenwood radio. The seat was lowered by 0.8 inches (20 mm). Claimed dry weight for the 1991 Interstate was 760 pounds (340 kg). In 1992 the Kenwood radio was, in turn, replaced by a new Panasonic 25-watt-per-channel sound system with intercom. Weight for the GL1500I "92 rose slightly to 767 pounds (348 kg).

As with the other 20th Anniversary models, the cost of a GL1500I "95 jumped. The last GL1500I was the 1996 model. Claimed dry weight for "95 and "96 was 769 pounds (349 kg).Valkyrie Tourer (GL1500CT) as well as the 1999 Valkyrie Interstate (GL1500CF).

The first new model for 13 years, the 2001 GL1800 had a larger 1,832 cc (111.8 cu in) engine with fuel injection, and a power increase from 74 kW (99 bhp) to 87 kW (117 bhp). The GL1800"s extruded aluminium frame, comprising 31 elements (barely half the GL1500"s number) resulted in an overall weight decrease. Options included ABS braking.

In 1997 Honda brought back an incarnation of the "Standard" or "classic" Gold Wing, renamed the Valkyrie in the US, and called F6C in the rest of the world. It had a higher performance engine, based on the GL1500, in a cruiser-style frame. The Valkyrie Tourer version had a windshield and saddlebags. A more touring-oriented version was introduced in 1999 as the Valkyrie Interstate with a full fairing, saddlebags and trunk. It was released as a naked bike, but also had a Tourer and an Interstate model. These two incarnations lasted relatively short and were (re-absorbed by the Goldwing line.

Because failed backlighting is also a common issue with these speedometers, we highly recommend purchasing the bulb kit with your instrument cluster LCD screen. Over time the blue caps turn brown due to heat, and the bulbs also fail. The bulb kit will include 6 genuine Honda bulbs and blue bulb caps. The backlight bulbs and the top LCD illumination bulb can be changed from behind the cluster. The lower LCD and fuel/temp illumination bulb must be changed after disassembling the entire cluster so you might as well replace it while everything is out.

Back in early 2017, we were approached by Honda Goldwing enthusiasts about their LCD instrument cluster screens failing. First off, Honda never sold the LCD screen separately. You had to purchase the entire center screen assembly which included the screen, circuit boards, and fuel and temperature gauges. The second issue was that Honda no longer produced these or had any stock left to sell. Goldwing riders were left with purchasing these assemblies used off of eBay that had been removed from old instrument clusters. These screens eventually failed and the cycle continued. We quickly went to work and started designing a high-quality replacement panel. Later that year we were ready to sell these awesome LCD screens and bring life back to the 1988-2000 Goldwing motorcycles.

If you experience your clock not keeping correct time (very fast or slow), NO information being displayed on your LCD screen, no radio information display or other information, then the LCD is not your problem. This issue is caused by a failing circuit board behind the LCD screen.

We do not offer any additional technical support for this DIY part. Please watch the video shown below to ensure you are able to install this Honda Goldwing LCD screen yourself.The two videos are about how to remove the instrument cluster and change the LCD screen and bulbs
