Default HUD Problem

Any fix for a HUD not lighting up. I know about the broken pin fix if it doesn't move up or down. This one just doesn't light.

Probably needs to be diag'ed. I'd probably start with the HUD dimmer switch.

Other than that my other guess's would be the matrix display in the HUD projector or worse case the cluster.

Do you know someone that you could possibly swap a known good switch, projector or cluster with?

Definitely needs to be troubleshot.

Good luck!

I donot think it is the switch because I can see the mirror moving when I press the button to move it up and down.

The slide is what controls the brightness of the HUD display. Maybe that portion of the switch or wiring is bad?

Just a guess.
