Climate control problem!
My climate control display either doesn't light up at all or when it does, it is very very dim. Anyone else had this and what is the fix for this? (new c5 owner)

Use the search feature. It's a common problem and you'll find more advice than I can give.

this is what i used.
linky
you can DIY for much cheaper, but i didn't want to monkey around with it.
there's also more sellers like this, but i liked the fact that i got the new unit first, instead of not having it for a week or so.

I had the same problem with my '02 vert, it seems to be very common, mine was still under warranty though, and the dealer changed it for me....

....with all regarding the dim light fix.
FYI, about 7 months after I made this mod, I couldn't turn off or change the temperature...ended up replacing the unit with a new one from Gene (vendor on this forum).
