What are the top reasons for the instrument cluster going blank? My friend has a 2013 w/Nav. Out of warranty, 45k miles, he wants to try and fix it on his own. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

If the backlight never comes on at all, I'd suspect a failed backlight on the DIC. a replacement DIC can usually be found on Ebay reasonably cheap. That's probably the first step I would take to avoid an OOW service trip.

This happened a couple of times after a long hot soak in summer sun. Screen recovered when cooled. Remedy??
