Hey guys im sorry, I searched this and had no luck... My RPD just stopped working all together tonight.. im worried i buggered something up good.... Is there a fuse for it?? I looked and cant find one for it under both the hood and passenger side fuse box. I have no display on it whatsoever.. just a black screen no power to it at all

 

What did you do?

I think the cig lighter fuse #29 under hood is the correct one.

 

Well, first, you should tell us what an RPD is.

 

One of these

 

Oh yeah, forgot about that! Thanks for the reminder

 

What’s on your dashboard? A cubby like the LS/LT models?
I’ve only seen the RPD on the SS dash .

 

Why do you say that ?

 

Yes, a cubby. It was an option in '09, standard in '10. So '08s didn't get it, some(probably most) '09s(like mine) didn't get it.

 

I have an 09' SS Panel with the RPD. Dumb me wanted to put an Apillar Boost guage on and i hard wired a boost guage from a Cobalt in and i was a dumbass and idinr tapenup the wires ans i shorted out one of the 4 wires that was used the dimmer and blew the dimmer fuse that controls tail lights, dash dimming, and radio lights but the radio lights being out is just becuz its a warning that there is a problem with the tail lights or a running light bilb and allcof them were out.. i fixed the one of the fuses thats under the hood that was for tail lights i believe and all the lights worked as they should but my RPD doesnt work and neither does my DIC...thats why i said i think i buggered something up..... I know.. the moral is tape up wires even if you just wanted to aee something work for a second.. i dont even have the Apillar trim... I just wanted to a ee ifnit worked....like a little kid.

 

Uh Oh. So you were wiring up a boost gauge and shorted something.
Guess it's too late to tell you that the SS is pre-wired for the A pillar boost gauge. The wire plug is behind the blank pillar trim on the RPD equipped models.
All you needed was the A pillar trim piece w/booster gauge. It would be plug in and work in tandem with the RPD.

And FYI. There is a boost gauge on the RPD.
