Default XR5 Dash Screen Problem

Hi All,

Last week my 2010 XR5 Focus started having trouble with the screen in between the tachometer and speedometer on the dash. Not sure what you would call this screen but its the little red one that displays the time and the remaining fuel range.

The problem is that the screen will be bright and visible one minute, then faded down so much that the screen is barely visible the next. I took it to a Ford dealer and without even seeing the problem the mechanic (or possibly the cleaner...) stated that it would need to be booked in and have the entire dash removed. This would only be a last resort for me.

I have had the battery tested and it came up as being in good health, although I know these tests are not always 100%.

Anybody heard of this happening before or have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kev
