    2013 B8.5 A4 instrument cluster lighting issue

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a 2013 B8.5 A4 and I have noticed that the light behind the temperature gauge has started to go on and off randomly. The car is no longer under warranty and I was curious if any one has seen something like this before. Does the cluster have serviceable lights?

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Yes, you can replace leds and resistors if needed. Behind temp needle is 1 red one and behind backround 2 more white ones!

    Thank you. Are they soldered to the circuit board?

    I am having the same issue between 20-50 mph. I hope it doesn't spread. Has anyone figured out a fix for this?
