Odometer light dim in 1999 E320

Hi
I noticed that my odometer light is dim, however the clock and temp light are bright and perfect.
Apparently I had removed the underside cover to r&r a temp sensor on the evaporator and ever since the light went dim on the odometer.
I wonder if I had accidently touched or did something.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for any help.

Sam

I had the same issue, but it was my clock that went dim. You most likely have the same issue I had , a burnt peanut bulb.
I simply pulled and replaced the bulb in the back of the cluster that had burnt out. The cluster board will tell you exactly what wattage to use.

Clock light is very dim

I need instructions on how to check/replace the clock light on e320 1999 model. The light is very dim and all other panel lights are of the proper intensity. Thanks with regards, Frank Rossi email: frossi@burlingtontelecom.net
