New FEH Owner - w/ just a few problems.
Hey everyone,
I have been reading the forums for the past several weeks as I've been doing research and I finally pulled the trigger on an 05 FEH last Thursday.
Here's a photo:
So there's one or two minor problems with the car, one of which is bothering more than the other: The info display underneath the tachometer is barely functioning. It's not completely off, but very very dim. Here is a photo:
Is this a common problem? I haven't been able to find anything on it.
Thank you for the help!

As I said in the description it "works" its just very dim. I can press the Info button and it will beep and change, but doesn't get any brighter or more readable.
Thanks for the response though.

It looks like the lower body panels have been resprayed to match the body color (I believe they were originally silver or unpainted/black). Which raises the possibility the vehicle was in an accident requiring body repair and respraying.
Another issue may be if your FEH was originally equipped with a navigation system and has been replaced.

Also, the navigation works perfectly and I didn't even mention that. My problem is with the display under tachometer being very very dim. I can only read it when it's bright outside and light hits the display well.
I think Ford did match the paint with the Appearance Package with this color. When I ordered my '05 FEH, the dealer told me the Appearance Package only came in the color with this silver paint. I told him he was wrong and to call Ford. I did get the Appearance Package on my green '05 FEH with the Off color silver bottom. I've seen many silver FEH's with the matching bottoms.

Can you put the instrument cluster in test mode? If that doesn't change the display I would figure that the LCD itself is bad. I think you get into the test mode by holding down the trip odometer button while turning the car on.

I'm starting to thing the LCD display has gone bad as well. :/
I was hoping it was a common problem and there was just a loose connection somewhere that was fixable.
