Dim HVAC info center??
I noticed that my heat/cool adjustment unit in the center of the dash (below the radio) is dim at times. Lately it has bothered me and I give it an occasional tap or two. That actually helps for awhile and it brightens up similar to the radio indicator.
Any ideas on this? Thanks!

Try it
Definately try the fix, whether you do it yourself or have somebody fix it. Chances are it will solve your problem with $0 in parts. Beats the heck out of paying for a new or used controller.
I did mine myself, it is very easy. Make sure you do the soldering work on a flat bench that is not cluttered in case one of the resistors falls off it will make it easy to find. Wouldn't recommend doing the work in the car itself, too many places for those little punks to fall and get lost forever.
