My odometer light isn't working. Anyone know how to fix this? Dealer said they have to take out the whole assembly to get to the bulb and there's still a possibility that they have to replace the whole unit. Anyone else have had the same problem?

Here is some info that I could quickly find:

"You were correct in checking all the fuses first. Generally speaking should it be a fuse you will lose your gauges as well. The most common problem with the loss of the LCD display for the odometer and other functions in that panel is a bulb. To access it you must remove the cluster. Once removed it is located directly in back of the LCD and is a 1.5W 12V.

I tried to upload the pdf file with the instruction to get to the back of the dash. But it is more than 2 mb, so if you send me your email, i can send to you directly. After this, not a big problem at all. Make sure you have a second car to go to the dealer and buy that bulb, not expensive at all.

Scroll down on this page a bit and you'll see how to remove your cluster.
