06 odometer light intermittent. LCD fine. Help!

My 06 odometer LCD always works but the "green" back light has only worked a couple of times since I bought this truck last week. I read somewhere here there are small light bulbs that plug in from the back of the instrument panel. My lights up once in awhile but usually is out making it tough to see in poor light conditions. The sticky post I read is mostly about dead LCD's and LCD solder issues. Maybe mine is just a loose bulb ??

Don't know why this is not in the technical articles / How to forum, it is stashed in the 2004-2008 forum

I think you're right, Steve! I've copied it over and titled it "Odometer Backlight Repair".
