Odometer numbers do not light up sometimes

[jeffjohnson1]

Hey guys (and gals) - I have another puzzler for you. I have a 1999 Navi and sometimes the odometer does not light up when you start the vehicle. It continues to work and will come on sometimes, but seems to be more frequent now. Anyone had a similar experience??? All gauges and onboard computer seems to work fine, still calculates the mpg and miles to empty, the odometer and trip still count up even though you cannot see the numbers. It does not appear that the trip can be reset when the "light is out" but as I said, it does continue to keep accurate mileage. This one has me stumped.....any suggestions or anyone already gotten this problem fixed????
Thanks,
Jeff

I have a 1999 nav with the exact same problem. It dosn't seem to affect anything else its just that the green back light comes on and off at random times.
