Digital Display
The digital display on my '12 Grand Sport is so dim I can't read it (Not the heads-up display, but the odometer, etc.) It kinda acts like it auto-dimmed for night driving. I thought I'd accidentally turned the **** but I hadn't. Any ideas? Please don't tell me the cluster is shot. I can't afford to replace it.

Thanks for all the replies. I have tried to adjust the light by turning the **** clockwise with no result. The car is 150 miles away. I will be there in 2 days. I'm going to try the **** again. Maybe I'm not holding it long enough. If that doesn't help I'll look into replacing the sensor. Is there a way to test the sensor before I go through that trouble?

I'm embarrassed to say it appears that the dash mat I put on the car covers the sensor just enough to dim the lights. The lights seem to be working properly now. I'll let you know if that changes.
