fuse. The lights are getting a little strange,little strips of discoloration. Hoping pulling the fuse to reset might fix it. Thanks

Yep, The ever popular fading Display
Just had mine Replaced under extended Warrenty .My dealer charged the ex warr company 750.00 . I am not sure if they will even sell you one because of some mileage verifacation issue , but I may be wrong

Welcome to the club
The only fix is replace the cluster. Are you still under warranty or extended warranty?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/414188.phtml">fading cluster</a></li></ul>

I posted this in an earlier thread, as the malfunction seems to be heat related...
These peltier coolers run ~$8 each and another $5-10 for a heat sink but should be able to tap right into a 12V line and should be pretty easy to put into place if one takes the instrument cluster out.

I haven't tried it, but don't have a fading gauge yet to try it.
Not sure if condensation would be an issue with these or not, but they are commonly used to cool computer chips on motherboards with a lot of exposed components and have a fairly good reputation among computer tweakers.
Just a thought!

I don't think it will help since mine started to fade after 4 yrs...
So something has degraded in the cluster. And I'm sure it'll only get worse. Adding a heat sink might help in the short term but it'll eventually come back.
