I have an issue where my VID is excessively dim(no, not the dimmer switch as everything else is bright). You cannot see it at all at night unless you put a light or flashlight on it. I am posting a pic with and without flashlight to see if anyone has seen this before and what I might do to fix it! Thanks in advance!

looks to be faulty. nothing to do other than replace it.

I found on another forum where Maxima's were experiencing a similar problem and people were fixing it by reseating the ribbon cable. I am willing to go that route to see if it works, but I am not sure how to take it apart. I will keep looking in hopes of finding a doc or manual that will help with that part.

Here is the IP section. Does not have great detail on removal in my opinion, just a huge picture with a chart showing the steps. Better than nothing though.

dealer replaced mine when it was under warranty. if it goes out again I'm going digital!

this is not the same dash as a maxima. these displays are not user serviceable.

that said, it could be a ribbon cable reseating issue as you suggest. report back to us if that solved it.
