Hey, im not sure exactly what its called but the little electronic display in the dashboard that display the milage and temperature and when you need a service is working but the light behind its has a problem of only coming on about once in ten ignitions or maybe even more, could this be that the led is faulty or just a connection somewhere, i know it isn't a fuse problem as iv checked everything when i carried out another repair.

can anyone give any advice on how i get in too check out the connection and lights, or any other way to sort the problem out, iv heard something about disconnecting the battery and put the wheel on full lock to reset the electrics?

cheers for any help
