AC display part goes dim after driving a short distance. If you look hard you can still see it. 50,000 miles. Dealer says may need new Module $1,000. ---

So fix it for a thou, or not… your choice. ---

It’s pretty standard now that there are little leds in the modules that burn out. If it still works it is just the bulbs. For a person skilled in electronics, there might be a 10% chance to open it up and replace the leds. Otherwise look for a used one from a junk yard, or pay the new cost, or live with it. I’ve got one switch with the light out now for about three years. I found a used one but neglected to order it and have since ignored it. ---

Sounds like the display in the HVAC module is failing. Your car probably is out of basic warranty due to age, and since this issue is neither safety related or a drivetrain/emissions concern, you will have to pay for the repair. $500-$600 for a module and a couple of hours to replace it, sounds about right. ---

Is this what you’re talking about? Like @asemaster said, $500-$600 for the part new, I also see used ones for about $100 on ebay. If you’re handy, I might try an ebay unit and replace it myself, assuming I could find a good youtube to walk me through. Otherwise the dealer cost sounds about right. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/3/5/35293f3db6a0616ae7a9273fe5fa76e14a4310d8.jpeg) ---

One idea, use a bright flashlight (& possibly a mirror) to look under the dash in that area. See any loose or problematic electrical connectors? Does wiggling any of them affect the button-display brightness? Also while looking in that area, look for a black (probably) wire screwed/bolted to some metal part of the car. That’s likely a ground wire. Is it making a good connection? I had brake lights dim b/c of a loose ground wire connection in the tail-light area one time on my Corolla.
