Default lights in the A/C panel

Help. I have a 2002 with the automatic A/C controls. Yesterday, while driving, the indicator lights all went very dim. They are visiable, but very dim. this happened during the day while driving. Any ideas?? oh, all a/c controls work, just very dim lights. I tried adjusting the dash lights and it had no effect,
thanks

I would say your display needs fixed. There are some contacts that come un-soldiered. It is an easy fix and common problem.

If it's only the HVAC readout that is dim, try this fix:

There are several places on ebay that will do this repair if you are not comfortable doing it yourself. Removing the control unit is not difficult.

The same people that can fix the display can also replace the background lights. Some offer to replace them with LEDs.
