Very common problem. They fade. I think someone has fixed the LCDs, but the best bet is just a new control unit, or live with it. Sometimes, when it would happen to me, a sharp rap with a few fingers would bring it back.....for a minute. Just keep an eye out for a new used unit...

The lights do go out after a while. You can try to pick one up off the C5 parts for sale section, or give Gene at KarShop a call.

You just purchased it? Take it back to the dealer and let them fix it.
