Temperature setting out in AC ****
I took the Vette for a short ride when I noticed that the AC temperature setting was no longer in the center of the AC temperature dial. Anyone experience this? I assume there is an LED that lights up the dial.

This morning, I went down to the garage, started up the Vette and the temperature setting is back in the **** but flickering with idle. It is little crap like this that annoys me, because I hate taking the car to a dealer for something so minor.

I'd mention it to the Svc Mgr when you bring it in and have them take a look at it. If it's going to entail taking apart the dash to fix, I'd pass on it, it's something that can be fixed behind a panel or from under the dash, I'd get it addressed.Sorry to hear you have the issue.

Yes, I mentioned it in an Aug 30 post and heard from a couple more owners that experienced the same thing. Mine came back the same day, bright and steady and never had the problem again. My 2 cents is let it be unless it goes out completely.

My '14 did the same thing, temp readout digits disappeared in the **** and on the passenger side two times when the car was a few weeks old. They came back after a while and I never had a problem again. I had several updates done to the HVAC and other modules so its possible one of those fixed it.
The '14 I had always flickered a bit when they were dimmed, never really bothered me. This '16 flickers a bit too when dimmed.

Well, the numbers are back and flickering with idle. I will wait and see because I don't want a tech tearing into my dash over a light. I have over a year left on bumper to bumper and have an extended warranty. If I go to the dealership at some point, I'll ask about it. Most likely, the car won't see a dealership until I trade it in.
