im having a bit of a prob with my car... perfect oppertunity to do the blue dash mod when im fixing it
 i was driving down the road yesterday, and i noticed the LCD panel below the instruments dimming everynow and then, quite rapidly and then it would be fine for a while. I thought it might just be because the music was playing a bit loud, so i turned it off and it kept doing it. Then i noticed that the clock was doing it too... in time with the odometer panel. Does anyone have any ideas? bad earth? Ive also lost the lighting in my climate control, its there, but VERY faintly.... bloody cars, any help would be greatly appreciated

the globe in the climate might be blown, with the remaining filament shorting out in the globe...
that could be causing the other panels to dim.. other than that id say its an earthing problem......... but try replacing that globe in the climate module first......it may just fix the problem:P |
