Guage cluster diming?
I noticed last night that my guage cluster wasnt as bright as normal. It was bright at first, but after a while it got dimmer. first thing i did was check dimmer switch and it is working properly and is turned all the way up. Could that be a sign that its going out or what?

Time to get a new battery. My clusters were dimming too. In fact, soon after my battery died and had to be recharged.
Went with the SEARS Diehard Platinum. $180 plus installation and tax. Came out to around $215. It's rated by Consumer Reports as the best battery money can buy. Was thinking about getting a Kinetic but the Diehard is a much better battery.

it has a new battery, just read that our cars have a auto dimming feature and they dim at night. that makes since being it is very bright at daytime. No way to turn feature off either.

This also happens when you drive in a tunnel or under an overpass. WEatch your guages within about 2 to 3 seconds of entering will automatically dim, eventhough you headlights will have a longer delay... hope that helps.. The sensors are actually at the top left and right corners of the dash board, still a towel over both and you will trick your car to think it's 9pm.
