Default Gauge Cluster fading in and out...

Have any of you experienced the electronic display between the speedometer and tachometer fading in and out?

Yes, mine did that. The fault lies within the cluster. It's not the electrolytic caps as I thought it could've been. Must be a surface mount component gone bad, but I'm not skilled enough to troubleshoot those (and not without a schematic from Visteon). Fixed it with a swapped cluster. You need to be good with SDD and a Mongoose cable to do key unprogramming, reset immobiliser and reprogramming of keys on the new cluster. Or pay the best part of £1000 to have Jag do it!
