## What is wrong

Certain vehicles may experience instrument cluster backlighting malfunction.  There are three distinct failure modes.  \(1\) Vehicles built between 06/2000 and 11/2000 may contain a defective transformer that could cause an electrical short.  \(2\) Vehicles built from 01/2002 to 04/2002 could have incorrect dielectric layers inside a capacitor that could lead to fluctuating current levels.  \(3\) Vehicles built between 05/2004 and 09/2004 may have incorrect light emitting diodes \(LEDs\).  Correction: Dealers will replace the instrument cluster module.
