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.
