Default Instrument Cluster Outage

My first post...

Just bought a XFIRE (as signature shows) and literally 4 days after driving it out of the showroom some of the interior lights have failed and the "Light Outage Indicator" is on.

The instrument cluster does not light up and the centre console (i.e. where the CD player and switches are) does not light up apart from the volume **** on the CD player. The switches still work though (fan, A/C, heated seat) and if you press a switch which has a little red light, that still lights up. To be more precise, it is the green back-lighting which has failed.

Any ideas?


PS - Great forum by the way!!!

Check the **** to the left of the speedometer and turn to see if accidentally turned it down this is the brightness **** for the instrument cluster.

I had tried turning that **** but no difference. The Light Outage Indicator is on so there is something wrong.
