When out for a drive it works just fine then I will make a stop for fuel or anything else then when I get on the road again the display is gone.

Shutting the car off and starting it again seems to resolve the problem immediately so I have yet to investigate any further.

P.S.

My Kat lived in Texas early in it's life, maybe it's a Texas thing.

I think mslc10 is talking about his mirror display lighting dimming down (which is normal),,,which isn't adjustable like the dash gauges are.

Had similar issues but gauges also weirded out. Cleaned ground cable from battery to frame cured mine. BTW I like to cruise with parking lights on and that dims the display to a point that I can't see ( hate that).

On my 2000 I inadvertently discovered that there is an "extra" position on the rheostat built into the headlight switch.

If you turn the headlight switch knob from dim to bright and go further, it typically turns the courtesy lights on.

What I discovered was there are actually two positions. The first position will make the instrument lighting and rear view mirror lights brighter so they can be easily seen during daylight hours and the second position illuminates the courtesy lights.

When I first discovered about the two positions on the switch I was concerned that I might somehow run the battery down so I experimented with it and found that it did not drain the battery when in the first position.
