Odometer backlight out

I searched for a fuse related to this but couldnt find one, anyone else know what the problem might be?

Also one of the lights on the front drivers window down switch is out if you might know anything about that too.


oh and im out of warranty too so id rather not "just take it in" if I dont have to.

thanks

I am having issues similar to yours. The backlight is not out on mine, it's actually the odometer, temp, and compass read-out that go out from time to time. The lights on my front drivers window down switch act really strange. One of them is out, but if I press the button, that light comes back on and a different one goes out.

My truck is still under warranty, so when I get a change to take it in, I'll try to remember to update you as to what they did to fix both issues.

They will have to replace the whole cluster more than likely. Just take it to the dealer, it will be covered.

I guess its a safety issue but what is the coverage on safety issues?
