Well I don't know if it helps, but on the way home just now (96 degrees out), I noticed my mileage "lcd screen" flickering. Not all of them, just the one that displays the mileage (bottom left).

It's never done this before, although I do have one of the gauge bulbs lose so the light behind the tach sometimes flickers. I attributed it to the heat inside the car. I tapped all over the gauge cluster and housing, but nothing helped.

Parked car (at subway) and when I came out to leave again, it was fine for about 10 seconds and then it started flickering again. It would update the numbers however. I thought I smelled something electrical, but it was so hot that I think I was "jumping to conclusions".

It is a bit unnerving, but I hope it's just a lose bulb connection.

On topic now, do you get the smell when all electronics are turned off? Checked the fuse panel?
