Default cluster lcd problem

Seems like my car does not want to be healthy. Just yesterday I fixed CLP and today, I have this LCD problem.

I do not have pixels missing or anything. LCD itself is good.

When I start my car first and in parking, LCD shows all the lines fine. Then when I change the gear to R, it goes blank. In N, it is okay again, but is blank in D. WTF?

That is odd. Can you backup normally?

I backed up when I went to work this morning fine, but not after that. Let me see what happens tomorrow morning. I will also take some photographs.

Also, please change your view to threaded so it's easier to follow.

Sorry, I didn't mean to say that. I guess I screwed up that sentence.

Anyway, all the gears on my car engage fine. Reverse also works fine. Here please see the pictures, it will give you an idea.

AHHH - you just have the info display "turned off". Turn it back on with the stalk switch.

You know the wiper switch stalk? There is a button on bottom to reset the trip computer, and the button on the end to scroll through the MPG/MPH/fuel till empty etc etc. The button on the bottom can turn the whole thing on/off too. Push it - should come back on. Push and hold it and it will reset whatever "page" (MPG/MPH etc) you are looking at.
