No activity or light at all...

Fuse? Bulb (which kind?) ? Just replace the thing, and if so where?

I'm not that concerned about it, but still...

 

its not a fuse unless other stuff is out too. its not a bulb since its an lcd screen. most likey the screen is broken and needs to be replaced. best bet would probably be to replace it.
ebay clocks

 

Bad clock, get one cheap from Ebay. Easy install, if you've ever done any radio work.

 

Yeah you need to replace the clock. I had the same issue.

 

Mine keeps coming on & off needs to be replaced?

 

^^^

On and off sounds more like wiring.

 

mine is fading on the sides, but still bright in the middle, but that's only with I have parking lights on or headlights on..when it's just the clock on ( no parking lights or headlights), it's nice and bright!

what gives?

 

The car I just bought has the same issue, I believe mine is loose wiring. Not a big deal as I need the whole piece that includes the defrost, emergency flashers, clock and vents. Looks pretty easy to replace, I'd just get a new clock, or get behind there and wiggle the wires to see if it's just a loose wire.

 

Digitized, Sounds like bad grounds or a bad/weak alternator.

 

really? but every other lights are fine...
I thing I do notice in winter time, when I just start up the car, while the car is "warming up" in the first 3-4 minutes, with the lights on, whenever I press the clutch, the lights would dim.. is that an indication of bad ground/alternator as well?
