    HVAC Temp. display not working. Odometer & gear shift position display not working. Just purchased the car a couple of days ago and the Odometer/Gear Shift display was working when I test drove the car, but was VERY dim, but now has cone completely out. The HVAC temp. display was not working when I bought it. Have not tried any repair yet. Just now searching the net for suggestions. Bob

    I never had it fixed. It is still dim to this day so I operate blindly by counting the clicks. Unit still works fine. Also, it will randomly light up fully but very rarely. I don;t know what triggers this.

    HVAC display dim or not visible. Display will come back briefly (few seconds then fades) if front face is tapped.

    I have a problem with my HVAC control being very dim and hard to read, especially in the day light and even at night.
