Default LED Display Not Lighting

My display for air/heater quit working. At night, they are very dimly lit, but I can't see the display during the day. The DIC, dash lights, and stereo LED display are all working fine. I haven't checked the fuses yet because I was assuming that the Radio display and the Environment display would be on the same one. Any ideas?

Those things (display) have an internal fuse, but most of the time if LEDs burn out, they're burn't out. Similar scene. on a past radio, but the service guy told me the internal fuse was just as $$$ to fix as maybe finding a new one. Not sure on cost of temp display unit but, I'm sure you can research and find one online. Also post in PARTS and TECH section here, if you haven't already. Good luck. Hope this was useful. I hope someone has a better suggestion.

I have read posts that say the lights on the control units either can't be fixed or cost way too much to do it. Check with Gene at the KarShop (forum vendor) and see what a used part would run you.

Mine's done the same thing, but it seems to be intermittent. Off(dim) sometimes, bright other times.

Just had my AC/Heat Dual Head Unit replaced because the light burned out. It starts by dimming durning the day so you can not see it and then it just goes totally out. Mine when out completely the very morning I took it in.

This is very common. It cost my extended warranty 672 bucks but I had a zero deductable

You can not replace just the light..I ask the same question here a month ago.

Thanks Jim. $672 is pricey, but it drives me crazy when something isn't working on my baby.
