    Hello everyone, I just learned of this forum 5 minutes ago, what a great site! :D

    I have a 2005 Sport with 69,000 miles on it. About a month ago, my compass/thermometer on my ceiling crapped out on me. It just stopped lighting up. Anyone had this happen to you before? What should I check? I don't want to tear anything apart until I have an idea from someone who knows.

    Thanks so much, looking forward to spending some quality time on this forum.

    Ryan

    See I am getting the hang of this forum.. Only took me two months and many hours of reading everything.
