Any links to the posts you found most helpful? I'm going to fix mine one of these days. But for now, a little tapping on it and it's full strength for a little while.

Might as well fix it now. The tapping fix isn't going to give a whole lot more time. Mine started that way first, then went south pretty quick.

I'm not too good with soldering so I'm not looking forward to it. Three of my AC related buttons no longer light up too. A friend is redoing all of his interior bulbs with white LEDs which is what I really want to do too. I'm going to see how his turn out then I'll start digging into mine.

Thanks for the links 02silvervette, that second one is great.
