A while back the info center started dimming on my 08, now it is off. Any ideas? Dealer want's about $500 to fix. Besides the $330 part I don't think it would be hard to replace. Just looking for information.

Stupid question. Is the Dimmer roller, rolled all the way down?

No this was visible (or not) during the day on a long drive home. Sometimes it shows up kind of like a tie-die effect if you know what I mean. Dim in some places and dark in others.

I have heard about this happening to members on here with their 04-7 clusters. IIRC, it has something to do with cold soldier joints??? Apparently a common issue on 97-03 F150s. I would say pull the instrument cluster out and check...but not sure what's involved with that.
