Has anyone else had an issue with the LCD Speed/Gas gauge display being dim and gray vs. showing dark black digits? My car has very low mileage, and i wonder if there is corrosion on the pins on the back of instruments vs. grounds making bad contact. I notice that the LCD backlight dims when I press on the brake pedal at idle.

Where are the grounds for the instruments located and how do you access them to clean them? I read about someone who just cleaned the pins on the back of the instrument pane with alcohol and the connector and the display is now dark uniform black. Any sage input or solutions before I proceed to remove the instruments is appreciated?
