Odometer light does not light up

[mybaby]

My odometer reading lamp seems to be loose or it’s about to burn out. I can sometimes hit the face of the dash and it will come on until I restart and then it’s out again. Is this a big big job to get to the bulb as in dismantling the dash or should this be done by a mechanic? Anyone had this happen? Any solutions will be appreciated

There's no bulb. The odometer is a LCD display soldered straight to the board. Sounds like it is a couple loose solder joints...



If you want to go in after it:

Gauge Cluster Repair Part I: dash disassembly
Gauge Cluster Repair Part II: cluster bulb replace


Or, you could replace the entire cluster with an Ebay or salvage yard unit.

Thanks for the info but I think that repair is quite a bit above my pay grade. Will live with this for the time being.
