No light on climate display at night
The backlight on my wife's Nav and climate and radio do not work at night when the lights are on. During the day they work and at night if the lights are off they work. Did a search and could not find similar problems. Anyone have this happen?

On the left hand side of your steering wheel there is a **** to adjust the brightness of your dash at night. If you turned the **** fully to the right (after the click), the nav will not adjust to night time mode. Turn the **** all the way to right, before it clicks and it should work.

When the lights are working are you able to adjust the brightness with the dash control or does the brightness **** just work the gauge panel cluster ? The climate control and computer information panel has a backlight in it and i dont think you can see it well when it is on in daylight. At night this panel would be obviously out. if it was dark.:If yours is out it may just be the back light has gone bad. I have seen this happen before

Turned on lights and covered sensor on dash. I can see changes in odometer and radio when I adjust ****. If I turn and click **** the climate goes full bright, but no gradual changes from all they way left up to the click.

This is a strange one. The NAV has a separate brightness adjustment accessed via the DISPLAY button. I don't think it ever changes with the dash control. Climate and radio should be controlled via the dash control.
Just to clarify the symptoms, when you say, "The backlight on my wife's Nav and climate and radio do not work at night when the lights are on" you are saying:
At night, headlights on = NAV completely dark, climate and radio completely dark.
At night, headlights off = NAV, climate, and radio backlight are on

I'm going from memory but I believe there is another adjustment to try. Have car in park, ignition on, move the headlamp switch to 'parking lights' and adjust the **** on the dash. It should change brightness of either climate controls or stereo. Moving the headlamp switch to 'headlights' and adjusting should change the other. May not be the issue but I remember you can turn the background lighting completely off and is an easy try.

We can repair these climate control units and any other lighting problems. Much cheaper than a $200 replacement that may have the same issues!
PM me any questions.
